Gingerbread Blondies
Even if you don’t have time to do elaborate Christmas baking, these super-easy, super-soft Gingerbread Blondies take only minutes to prepare. Everything is mixed in one saucepan, and no mixer is required. Except for preparing the generous layer of fluffy cream cheese icing, which you don’t want to miss! The cake falls a bit in the center after it bakes, as you want to slightly underbake it to achieve the chewy, moist texture. Feel free to cut off the edges and nibble on them! Cut into little squares and topped with a festive sprinkle, this is one of my favourite new things to bake for the holidays. I recently caught one of my little granddaughters sneaking numerous pieces off the cookie platter!
