Tips to Make Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Blondies

Here are some insider tricks to elevate your blondies:

Room temperature everything: It seriously helps with the mixing and texture.
Don’t overbake: Keep an eye on them around the 30-minute mark. You want a soft center.

FAQs

Can I use regular flour instead of gluten-free flour?
Absolutely! Just replace it with all-purpose flour, and you’re good to go!

How do I know when the blondies are done?
They should be set in the center; a toothpick inserted should come out mostly clean but might have a few crumbs.

Can I make these ahead of time?
For sure! Make the batter a day before and bake them fresh the next day. They’ll taste just as amazing!
