FAQs
1. Can I use granulated sugar instead of brown sugar?
Yes, but the flavor and texture will be different. Brown sugar adds moisture and a rich taste that granulated sugar does not provide.
2. Can I add other ingredients?
Absolutely! Feel free to add nuts, dried fruit, or different types of chocolate chips.
3. How do I know when the blondies are done?
Check them at the 20-minute mark. Insert a toothpick in the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs. If it comes out clean, they might be overbaked.
4. Can I use margarine instead of butter?
Yes, you can use margarine, but it may alter the taste slightly. Using unsalted butter is recommended for the best flavor.
