FAQs

1. Can I use brown sugar instead of white sugar for the topping?
Yes, you can use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar for the topping. It will give a deeper caramel flavor.

2. How do I know when the blondies are done baking?
The edges should be set, and the center may look a little soft. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs, but not wet batter.

3. Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can bake them a day or two in advance. Just store them in an airtight container until you are ready to serve.
