What is the difference between Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars and Blondies?

This is a question that has been on my mind for the longest time. Seriously though, you guys. What is the difference between a cookie bar and a blondie?

Therefore, I have Googled it a bunch of times but did not seem to figure out the difference. (If you know, do your girl a favor, comment below..).

To me, they are the exact same thing.

Why do I love Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Blondies

So Easy to Make

I have a confession – I can never get a cookie recipe turn out to be the way I want it to be. Although I can handle a roll of pre-made cookie dough.

However, when I make Chocolate Chip Cookies into a blondie or cookie bar form, they turn out amazing.

There is no rolling involved.

All you need is to throw all the ingredients into a bowl. Bake. Enjoy!

Texture is Magical

A little crispy on the edges, these cookie bars are still chewy and moist on the inside. The melty chocolate and sea salt combination are just the most perfect duo.

Moreover, these chocolate blondies are soft and have a buttery flaky texture. When you sink your teeth in it, the crispy outside, melty and gooey inside, chocolatey and salty flavor.

Say no more.

What Makes these Chocolate Chip Blondies Unique

Gluten and grain free:

Almond flour instead of gluten free or plain flour.

Dairy free:

Maple syrup instead of white sugar, and 70% + dark chocolate (My favorite brand is Eating involved and Hu Kitchen which are both refined sugar free delicious chocolate)

That’s it! Just a few simple tweaks. there you get chocolate chip blondies that are both healthy and delicious.

How to Make Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

First of all, in a mixing bowl, combine all the wet ingredients:

• Amond butter
• Maple syrup
• Coconut oil
• Nut milk (optional)

Mix well.

Secondly, add all the dry ingredients:

• Almond flour
• Arrowroot flour
• Pinch of sea salt
• Baking soda

Whisk until well combined.

Third, fold in 1 cup chopped dark chocolate bars or dark chocolate chips (I used 72% cocoa solids).

Then, grease an 8×8 baking pan or line it with parchment paper. Pour the chocolate chip blondie mixture in.

Lastly, add some extra chocolate chip on top. And Bake at 350 F for 20 minutes.

Tip:

Additionally, for an ultra gooey texture , you can under-bake. You can even serve is half baked cookie dough with ice cream.

Mind.

Blown.
