 Today's guest post is from  Reeni of Cinnamon Girl Recipes. She is not only a great food blogger, but also a wonderful  friend of mine . It is difficult to find  true friend nowadays. She is  one of them. Her recipes have always mesmerized me a lot,  not only do they look great but also delicious. I have tried a few of them, but they turned out to be delicious as she mentioned in the recipe.  I  need to find some more time to try her recipes.  Her pictures are also very nice. When I asked her to do guest post for me, she immediately agreed and sent me this wonderful recipe. Try some time, if you like blondies, then this is the cookies for you. 

 Reeni in her own words.


Hi Zesty South Indian Kitchen readers! Reeni here, guest posting from Cinnamon Girl Recipes with my recipe for butterscotch blondie cookies. Blondies are like brownies without chocolate. Instead they have a rich brown sugar flavor reminiscent of butterscotch.

My blondie cookies are exactly what you would expect from a blondie in cookie form. The soft cookies melt-in-your mouth the same way blondies do. Brown sugar dances across your taste buds in every bite. Packed full of butterscotch chips, they add even more of the distinctive brown sugar flavor blondies are loved for.

With crunchy walnuts thrown in for good measure, these are everything you could wish for in a blondie. Or a cookie. And forget about eating just one. It's impossible. They are completely and irrepressibly addicting.
