blondies

Butterscotch dessert squares

Blondies are bar cookies similar to brownies but made without cocoa, resulting in a golden or butterscotch-colored treat.

They typically feature brown sugar, butter, vanilla, and often chocolate chips or nuts.

The name plays on the contrast with brownies—blond versus brown.

I brought a pan of blondies to the potluck.
