Morphology

blondie = blond (semi-transparent) = blond + ie

The dessert name is motivated by the idea of a light-colored brownie, but the meaning is still partly lexicalized and not fully predictable from the form.

Blondie for the dessert borrows the name from brownie but uses blond to show its pale, vanilla color. So a blondie is like a light-coloured brownie made without cocoa.
