Notes
Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. Make-ahead: The blondies can be baked, cooled, and frozen for up to 2 months; thaw at room temperature before serving. Substitutions: You can use walnuts instead of pecans, or omit nuts for a plain blondie. For a gluten-free version, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. Serving suggestion: Serve slightly warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
