Tips for Making Them Perfect

A few simple tricks make these blondies even better.

Don’t overbake

Cool before slicing

This helps the blondies set properly.

Refrigerator

Keep refrigerated for up to 5 days.

Freezing

Wrap individually and freeze for 2 months.

Reheat for 15 seconds in the microwave before serving.
