Irish Coffee Blondies

Irish Coffee Blondies

When you think of St. Patrick’s Day you probably think of one of two things … the colour green or beer; since green beer is a thing at this time of year – perhaps you’re only thinking of one thing 😉 This year, I thought I would forgo the green food coloring and opt for a play on a classic, the Irish Coffee. Soft and chewy, these Irish Coffee Blondies are infused with classic flavours in two ways – ground coffee in the batter and Irish whiskey in the sugar glaze. Fresh ground coffee is best for the flavour, so if you have only ever used instant, you can check out some more information on grinding coffee from Mommysmemorandum or somewhere similar. The perfect sweet treat for the holiday. Enjoy!

So much easier than traditional cinnamon buns, but all the same comforting flavours.

Julie swears the magic is in the swirling, I’m convinced it’s in the icing 😉 Enjoy!

A couple weeks ago I thought I would try my hand at Linzer Cookies, just in time for Valentines Day.  Traditionally made with blackberry jam, I thought I would make mine with homemade Raspberry Thyme Jam, creating what I thought would be an elevated Linzer Cookie.  What I did not consider, was that homemade raspberry jam contains a tonne of seeds!  While I’m sure there’s some fancy (or super simple, in which case, please share) way to remove seeds from raspberry jam, I lacked the time or motivation to investigate.  So off to the market I went to pick up seedless raspberry jam and this glorious homemade jam has instead been enjoyed on toast and homemade scones.  A win-win really 😉
