Thanks to Smitten Kitchen, I’m having a love affair with baked goods today.
I made these brownies and blondies (white chocolate brownies) last night for a teacher at school who won a library contest I held last week. When I send out a library newsletter, I also run a contest to see who can email me the highlights first. For my fall newsletter I made Grant’s Brownies for the winning teacher, but when I saw the heart shaped confections on Smitten Kitchen I knew that’s what I wanted to make. But then I was out sick for 3 days, and then my brilliant idea of using Lincoln and Washington shaped cookie cutters was thwarted by the shear size of them (3.5″, yielding a total of 3 brownies per pan). So I decided to just cut out circles. They’re not as pretty as the originals, but man oh man are they delicious.
