Tips for Perfect Blondies
• Do not overbake
Blondies should stay slightly soft in the center to maintain a chewy texture.
• Use parchment paper
It helps lift the blondies out of the pan easily.
• Let them cool before cutting
This helps them set properly and keeps the edges neat.
• Add extra toppings if desired
Chopped pecans, caramel drizzle, or cream cheese glaze pair beautifully with spice flavors.
