Rich and gooey blondies filled with pecans will make even a chocolate-lover beg for them!
I am excited to share this recipe with you guys today. It is a favorite in our family. They are actually what we refer to as “Patrick’s Blonde Brownies.” Patrick is my brother-in-law, who by the way is such a great guy, and these are his favorite. My sister makes them for him all the time.
They are so wonderful and almost have a praline flavor to them. It has got to be the whole box of brown sugar in there:)
I made them the other day for a school fundraiser. I packaged them up in some clear bags, and I sealed them closed with a little label I made. It was definitely one of the easiest treats I’ve made for the school yet!
No matter which piece you prefer, a crunchy edge or a gooey center, they are all just wonderful. You will have trouble eating only one. Make sure you have milk too because you will surely need a tall glass to serve with these babies!

Thank you Jaren – nice cookie recipes.
Who wouldn’t love the crunchy edge and gooey center-yum!
I think I will need a BIG glass of milk to go with these!
Yes indeed Beth!
Ooh, Jaren, I’m all about the gooey center. These blondies look delish! Start pouring me a big glass of milk. I’ll be right over!
Thanks Sara! That would be perfect!
How many cups of brown sugar?
Hi Linda! I usually just buy a 1 lb. box of brown sugar when making these. I think the box has about 2 1/4 cups of PACKED brown sugar. Thanks for visiting!!
Jaren these sound amazing! And as far as brown sugar is concerned, the more the merrier I say! I’m definitely making these!
I totally agree! Brown sugar just makes things some chewy and yummy!
That top is PERFECT. Brown sugar in blondies is the best. Pinned!
Thanks Dorothy!
