Notes

TIP: Spray the 9" x 13" casserole baking dish with non-stick-spray, line with parchment paper, and spray again for easy blondies removal and clean-up.
TIP: Have the baking dish ready before mixing the batter because the batter thickens quickly.
TIP: Be sure not to add the eggs directly into the hot butter or it can cook the eggs. Allow the butter to cool for a few minutes first.
