Test Kitchen Tips

Top a brownie (or blondie!) with chocolate or mint chip ice cream; drizzle with fudge sauce; garnish with whipped cream, chopped nuts, and a cherry or chocolate kiss.

Dark brown sugar contains more molasses than light or golden brown sugar. The types are generally interchangeable in recipes. But if you prefer a bolder flavor, choose dark brown sugar.

Easy to make but so, so sweet. I would have to change the ratio of sugar to flour if I made again.

These are quite sweet, but that's to be expected of Blondies! I still like my go-to recipe, which is a lot moister. These were good, however, and my family enjoyed them :)

My go-to recipe for chocolate chip blondies. My family loves them! I do bake for a few minutes longer.

The recipe was super easy to make and they tasted really good - but I did have to bake them for FIFTY minutes for them to get firm-ish (I was in a bit of a rush and really couldn't keep them in the oven any longer) and while they tasted lovely and everyone who tried them seemed to like them, they were SO sweet. Like tooth-achingly sweet. This recipe isn't bad and and it's really easy to follow, but I don't think I'll be making it again.

Found this recipe here last Christmas season, made it then and several times since. I make it exactly as written and the result is always delicious. This recipe has become a family favorite.

This recipe is definitely on the sweet side, but it's a blondie that's to be expected (especially with all that sugar!). It's a really easy recipe that comes together in just a few minutes. I was a bit hesitant about the batter filling a 9x13 and almost went with a smaller pan, but it actually came out just fine. Of course, if you want taller blondies, go with a smaller pan and bake longer. I subbed crushed toffee-chocolate bars for the chocolate chips, and they were great. I think I used only about 3 oz instead of 6 oz though.

For reason mine needed around ten minutes longer than the recipe calls for? Maybe it's my oven..

Simple to make, this recipe produced a batch of sweet bar cookies. I thought it was a tad too sweet and wiil add some almond extract or possibly some orange extract and orange zest along with the vanilla to offset the sweetness.Might throw in some cocoa nibs and/or nuts too. It was a hit with those who ate them and who relished the sweetness. the dough was stiff and challenging to stir in the chips and spread in the pan I did let the better cool so as not to scramble the eggs. .Although too sweet forme it is very easy to make and a hit with kids and those with a sweet tooth bigger than mine.

I can't make chocolate chips cookies to save my life and these actually turned out! I left them in for 20 minutes and my 5 yo sous chefs and their friends insisted on eating them before they cooled. I noticed right away that the longer they cooled, the easier they were to handle. Next time I make them, I will let them cool completely before cutting and serving them.

Great recipe. I am not sure why other people were having problems, I didn't have any issues.
