Cook techniques
Mixing Ingredients
Mix the butter and sugars together until they are well combined to ensure a smooth batter. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer for best results.
Incorporating Eggs
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. This helps to create a light and airy texture in the blondies.
Adding Dry Ingredients
Gently fold in the dry ingredients with a spatula. Overmixing can lead to dense blondies, so mix just until combined.
Baking
Preheat the oven and bake the blondies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. This will ensure they are perfectly fudgy.
Cooling
Allow the blondies to cool in the pan before cutting them into squares. This helps them set and makes it easier to slice.
