Notes
Measurements: It’s preferable to use a kitchen scale when baking; it guarantees for best results. Using too much flour will result in cakey, tough slices
Preferably European-style butter with at least 80% fat. Don’t use reduced-fat butter or margarine for making blondies or brownies.
Sugar: Either light or dark brown sugar is okay.
Chocolate: White chocolate chips or chopped chocolate.
Raspberries: Either fresh or frozen. If using frozen, don’t thaw them. Blondies made with frozen berries might need a few more minutes in the oven, but check.
Please don’t overbake; they will continue cooking in the pan while they cool.
