Peabody's Snickerdoodle Blondies !

I was looking through some of my favorite food blogs the other day, when I stumbled onto Peabody's wonderful blog.

The first thing I did when I saw this recipe was drop my mouth open in amazement. I've NEVER seen SNICKERDOODLE BLONDIES before. I knew I had to try them, and soon.

It's one of my dance team members birthday tomorrow, so these will be for her.

But you better bet I had my share before packaging them away!

I HIGHLY recommend trying these. Peabody says to serve them warm with ice cream...YUM! I just warmed mine up a little, and ate them that way. But next time, I will for sure be putting ice cream on top!
