Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Adjust oven rack to lowest position; heat to 325 degrees. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with vegetable cooking spray. Fit a12-by-18-inch piece of heavy-duty foil into the pan so you can use the foil overhang as a handle to pull baked blondies from the pan; coat foil with cooking spray.
- Whisk flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl. Then, heat butter and brown sugar in a large pan until bubbling hot. Whisk eggs and vanilla in a large bowl. Slowly whisk hot sugar mixture, then dry ingredients, into eggs. Stir in optional add-ins (if using chocolate, let batter cool slightly first).
- Scrape batter into prepared pan, then bake until blondies are just set, about 45 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for five minutes. Pull blondies from the pan using foil handles and set on a wire rack. Cool completely before cutting into 24 pieces.
Footnotes
- Optional
- 3 cups add-ins, including dried fruit (cranberries, cherries, raisins, apricots or dates); coarsely chopped nuts (pecans, walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts); and/or semisweet, bittersweet or white chocolate chips

Oh man, so delicious! As someone who doesn't really care for chocolate it might come as a suprise that I've never actually had a Blondie. I made 1/3 of the recipe in a 9x9 square pan and used da...

This recipe makes a wonderful cake if you accidentally double the eggs when you're making it. (too many assistants in the kitchen)

I was torn on to give this 3 stars or 2. This is not all THAT great. Nothing to be excited about. They were OK and I really don't care for them. What really made me give this rating was the hard...

These blondies are really great. I made them almost exactly as this recipe called except I made a smaller batch and used Dark Brown Sugar (didn't have light). They are great. Very moist, buttery...

I reduced the sugar to 2 cups and the butter to 2 sticks after reading other reviews about this being too greasy and sweet. It turned out as a very flat and dry cake. It was in no way like a b...
