I've made these twice and both times after baking them for the specified time, they were really done on the outside and still completely gooey and undone on the inside. I had to cook them for double the time. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Once they cooled they seemed to harden, so they weren't the easiest to cut.

Awesome!!!! I love vanilla and these are the vanilla fix i was looking for. I didn't add choc chips. Very cristy on top but very chewy inside. I cooked for 30 min at 340, my oven is hot and they turned out great! will defenitely make again!! thanks stephanie!

Very good! Tastes like quite a cakey brownie. I did add choc chips since I was looking for a bar recipe. Turned out awesome! Doesn't need to cook quite as long as recipe calls for, though. Thanks for a keeper!

good--but far too sweet. the second time i made them i reduced the sugar to 3/4 c each of brown and white sugar, added white chocolate chips and chopped almonds, and reduced the baking time to 25 minutes. those were a huge hit among my friends, even the ones who demanded chocolate chips the first time. i also find they have less of a tendency to stick if baked in a glass pan.

It's good but, entirely too rich. I think the sugar content is overboard. If you like this recipe I would suggest you try the butterscotch brownie recipe from the Toll House site. It's awesome. Even if you're not a butterscotch fan.

these came out hard and a little burnt, and i put them in for only 30 min., i don't know if the times are wrong on the recepie or if my oven is really fast. But they weren't bad, i prefer chocolate though...

super easy and delicious! I cut the baking powder back to 2 teas and increased the vanilla to two teaspoons. It only took about 27 minutes for my oven though. Thanks Stephanie

Hmmmm, I dunno about this one. I followed the recipe exactly as listed and I got a jelly pan of hard bricks! I thought this was a total waste of ingredients and was really dissapointed since it had such great reviews. I don't know what I did wrong but I baked it at 350 for 35 minutes and it was burnt on the edges big time! Thanks anyway Stephanie.

These were good, but they seemed like they needed chocholate chips of some sort (and I'm not even a chocoholic). This recipe is basically tollhouse cookies without the chocolate chips. I was expecting something wildly different. Still good, though.

Okay...I must be the only person in the world that tried this recipe and didn't like it. They were too dry, too hard...too bland. Even made a second batch thinking I had messed up the first one. But that is just my opinion.

I brought these to a potluck of 30-somethings and they were a huge hit. Essentially, they reminded me a lot of chocolate-chip bar cookies... only chewier!

This is the best blonde brownie recipe. It would be so good with white chocolate chips or just macadamia nuts.

These were great! I made these yesterday and they are a big hit in my house-from ages 12 to 79! One note:make sure to grease to corners well. I didn't grease the corners of the pan very well and had to pry the corner brownies off! But this is a definite keeper.

These were delicious brownies! I had tried other "blondie" recipes, but none that were just right. This recipe is just that. Perfect. I took these to a party, and they were gone in minutes. This recipe is a keeper! Thanks Stephanie.
