Tips & Variations

- Mix in chocolate chips or nuts for added texture and taste.
- Be careful not to overmix once you add the flour to keep the blondies tender.
Storage

FAQs
Can I use white sugar instead of brown sugar?
While you can substitute white sugar, brown sugar adds moisture and a rich caramel flavor that is characteristic of blondies, so the taste and texture may change.
How do I know when my blondies are done baking?
Look for golden edges and a set center. A toothpick inserted into the middle should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs, but not wet batter.

Blondie Batter
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter and brown sugar until smooth and well blended. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract if using.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour and salt to the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined to form a thick batter.

- Cool and Serve: Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. This helps them set and prevents crumbling.
