These Boozy Blond Brownies are good all by themselves or add them to a dish with some caramel and ice cream for a super duper dessert.
I think these actually taste like my Amish Buttermilk Cookies. The icing is similar to my browned butter icing. I love an icing that starts with melting butter and brown sugar on the stove! I put a little of my favorite Maker's Mark Bourbon in both the brownies and the icing. With all the brown sugar sweetness going on the bourbon adds the perfect taste.
