How cool is that? I had no idea you could do this with a KitchenAid. We received a used one last year from Doug’s mom, and besides our Ninja blender it’s my favorite piece of hardware in our kitchen.

Better Than Robert Redford
So yummy!!
I did 4 layers instead of 5 by mistake, but it still turned out awesome! Made this for Easter dinner at Doug’s families house, but I was sick and didn’t go. Doug brought back what was left.
And yes, the name of the recipe is called Better Than Robert Redford. I’ve completely revised the recipe and will post it up the next time I make it. :)
Homemade Blondies
Blondies
Blondies from scratch, and they turned out delicious! Doug helped, and we used chocolate chips since we didn’t have any butterscotch chips.
Not my recipe… can’t recall where I snagged it.
Blondies Recipe
1/2 cup of butter, melted
1 cup of tightly packed dark brown sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon of vanilla
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon of baking soda
Pinch of salt
1 cup of all-purpose flour
1/3 cup of butterscotch chips (chopped walnuts and chocolate chips are equally tasty)
Directions
1 Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly butter and flour an 8X8 pan. Whisk together the melted butter and sugar in a bowl.
2 Add the egg and vanilla extract and whisk.
3 Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, mix it all together. Add the butterscotch chips or other mix-ins.
4 Pour into the pan and spread evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool. Cut into squares and serve.
SnickerDoodles
SnickerDoodles
Amazing what you can do in the middle of the night when you cannot sleep. I made my first ever home-made from scratch batch of Snickerdoodles, using the KitchenAid mixer we got for X-Mas. They turned out moist, chewy, and amazingly delicious!! The recipe yielded 42 yummy cookies.
