Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough blondies.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached (not wet batter). Do not overbake for moist blondies.

Remove the pan from the oven and let the blondies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares. This allows them to set properly and become fudgy.
