Tips for Making the Best Cashew Blondies

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This means using real butter, pure vanilla extract, and fresh cashews.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough blondies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the blondies until they are set in the center. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the blondies cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to hold their shape.
  • Enjoy the blondies warm or at room temperature. They are also delicious served with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream.
