NATIONAL BROWNIE DAY – December 8 | National Day Calendar

Each year on December 8th, brownie lovers across the nation enjoy one of their favorite baked goods on National Brownie Day.

#NationalBrownieDay

In the United States, the chocolate brownie is a favorite, with the blonde brownie running a close second. A blonde brownie is made with brown sugar and no chocolate and is often called a blondie.

The earliest recipes for brownies we are familiar with today are found published in regional cookbooks and newspapers around the turn of the last century. The 1904 Laconia, NH Home Cookery, the 1904 Chicago, IL Service Club Cook Book, and an April 2, 1905 edition of The Boston Globe are three early examples. In 1906, Fannie Merritt Farmer published a recipe in an edition of The Boston Cooking School Cookbook.

Three myths have gained popularity over the years regarding the creation of the brownie:

In an accidental mixing of ingredients, a chef added melted chocolate to biscuit dough.
A forgetful cook left out the flour when mixing the batter.
When a housewife did not have baking powder, she improvised to create this new treat. The wife decided to serve her guest flattened cakes.

When it comes to eating brownies I like mines with chocolate not with brown sugar. But I will like to try a blonde brownie because it looks appetizing.
