These blondies are a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding a little more butter next time.

I'm not a big fan of almonds, but I still enjoyed these blondies. The almond flavor is subtle and it doesn't overpower the other flavors.

I added a cup of chocolate chips to these blondies and they were amazing! The chocolate chips added a nice richness and depth of flavor.

I made these blondies with gluten-free flour and they turned out great! They were just as moist and chewy as the regular version.

These blondies are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still good.

I followed the recipe exactly and my blondies turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.
