Notes
Blondies can be stored covered at room temperature for 3 days.
Wrap squares tightly in plastic wrap, followed by foil, and freeze in a freezer bag for up to 1 month. Foil helps prevent freezer burn better than plastic wrap alone.
Nutrition facts do not include optional mix-ins.
For gooey blondies, check them after 20-25 minutes, the edges should appear cooked and crispy, and the toothpick will come out with some wet crumbs on it.
*Mix-ins are completely optional, you can make these with no mix-ins at all and they’ll be delicious. Add no more than ¾ cup TOTAL of any combination you’d like. Some suggestions for mix-ins: Chocolate chips (dark, semi-sweet, or milk), white chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, butterscotch chips, mini marshmallows, pecans, walnuts, cranberries, crushed pretzels.
Sprinkle with a bit of sea salt after baking if desired.
Light brown sugar can be used in place of dark.
To make in a 13”x9” pan: Double the ingredients and prepare as directed. Begin checking the blondies after 35 minutes.
