I rated this a four because it was an easy recipe and the batter tasted like the blondies were going to be fabolous. However I don't know if it's just me but they turned out more like a dry cake than blondies. I will say this is only my second time trying to make a brownie or blondie and both times they turned out like a cake. I cut the flour down to 2 1/2 cups like the reviews said and I added vanilla extract, but other than that I followed this recipe to the T. If anyone can help and tell me what I might be doing wrong I will highly appreciate it. I will try these again!

These are perfect. I've been using this recipe for years. Most recently for something different I baked the batter(minus the chocolate chips and nuts) in a mini muffin tin. Once out of the oven, I put two holes in the top of each blonde with the handle of a wooden spoon. Then I filled the holes with ganache after they had cooled.

Delicious blondies, great texture. I followed suggestions using 2 1/2 c. flour because in all the other blondie recipes I've tried, the flour & brown sugar are in equal amounts. Forgot to add the vanilla extract as suggested (I intended to) but they still turned out great. Note: The batter is very sticky and seems like it might not cover the pan and still be thick enough.. but it rises quite a bit (it uses a lot of baking powder). I spread mine in a 9x13 cake pan and it rose to the top like a cake would. Also it says to let it cool before cutting, but we couldn't wait and it cut beautifully.. the knife didn't tear up the surface and leave it all crumbly and messy, and each square held its shape well.

These came out super dense and insanely sweet, although it could have been our fault for assembling wrong. It used an entire box of brown sugar!

I took the advice of changing the flour to 1 1/2C, but it should have been 2 cups or more. They came out incredible greasy and flat, and way too sweet....NOT a good recipe at all....a bronie whould be moist and chewy and much thicker, not flat and greasy!

I made a couple of changes to bring this recipe closer to another I have for chocolate brownies that is very successful. I omitted the baking powder and increased the eggs to 5. I also decreased the flour to 2 1/2 cups. I added 1 tspn vanilla extract, 1 cup walnuts and 1 cup white chocolate chips. They were a big hit. Another keeper. Thanks!

These were amazing! A huge hit a work. Made recipe as is with no alterations - well I used both dark chocolate and milk chocolate chips. Will probably try adding vanilla and the version in a 13x9 for something different.

I made this and it was a hit at my job potluck. I didn't change any ingredients. It was hard to spread in the pan, so I put it in the oven for about 5 mins and then it was easy to spread, and came out perfect!
