TIP: Do not over-bake! When in doubt (if you keep checking and you just aren’t sure at 40 if they are done or not), simply remove from the oven and let sit in the pan until fully cooled. Over-baked blondies become dry = no bueno. Like any baked good, we steer on the side of under-baked (which always creates an ooey gooey delicious treat! ?)
