Blondie or Brookie?

Makaya Traore mtt54@uakron.edu

Blondies are a rich buttery brownie made with brown sugar, vanilla and sometimes caramel. While brookies are a combination of a cookie and a brownie. Blondies look golden-brown or caramel-colored. And brookies look like a dual texture with a fudgy brownie bottom layer topped with a cookie layer, by the way, brookies were made for people who couldn't decide between a cookie or a brownie. To be honest I feel like a brookie’s better but also i’ve never had a blondie, but it just doesn't sound appealing to me.
