HOW LONG WILL THESE BLONDIES LAST?
If you were to have leftovers, you can store blondies in an airtight container on the counter or in the refrigerator for up to one week.
INGREDIENTS LIST
BUTTER Unsalted butter is used to control the salt content in the blondies.
BROWN SUGAR We use a light brown sugar to create the fudgy texture we are looking for without have the stronger taste that comes with dark brown sugar.
GRANULATED SUGAR White sugar is drier which helps to create a chewy texture while brown sugar has the molasses content creating a fudgy consistency.
EGG The egg helps bind the ingredients, gives them structure, and helps them to rise a bit. Adding an extra yolk not only gives more protein, but also some flavor, fat, and lecithin which is an emulsifier. This holds it all together and allows the batter to take in extra moisture and extra sugar.
VANILLA EXTRACT Vanilla is all about the flavor. This recipe calls for 2 tsp which gives these blondies a mouth-watering taste.
ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR Flour helps bind everything together and participates in giving these blondies their structure.
SALT Salt is a flavor enhancer, so in baking it helps to create an even sweeter taste.
WHITE CHOCOLATE CHIPS These are a light color dessert, so I opted for white chocolate especially since we are adding raspberries to the batter. I have seen blondies with milk chocolate creating a chocolate chip cookie type appearance. Color and taste wise I opted for white.
RASPBERRIES Fresh or frozen can be used for the recipe, but if you do use frozen do NOT thaw them prior to mixing them in.
PRO TIPS Alternative ideas for this recipe: You can use White chocolate chunks or make your own from your favorite chocolate bar. Instead of fresh raspberries you can use frozen, but if you do add them to the mixture frozen. Do not thaw them out first. You could also do a drizzle or dip the squares in white chocolate after they are cooled and cut into squares.

WHATS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A BLONDIE AND A BROWNIE?
First, there is the obvious difference in that brownies are made with chocolate (cocoa) and blondies are not. The butter, brown sugar, and vanilla in blondies give them more of a caramel type taste. The brown sugar gives them an added chewy factor in addition to the hint of molasses.
