Pista Blondies Recipe

Pista Blondies are made with Jaggery Pistachios and flavored with Almond extract and Kewra essence

Typically, Blondies are Brownies without chocolate, made with dark brown sugar and butter-scotch chips

I am using Jaggery for brown sugar, and Pistachios for butter-scotch chips. The vanilla has been replaced with Almond extract and Kewra essence
