FAQs

What's the difference between a brownie and a blondie? ›

Blondies use vanilla extract and brown sugar instead of cocoa powder to get their flavor, while brownies use chocolate and cocoa. Plus, brownies usually include white sugar instead of brown sugar.

Blondies are basically 'blonde brownies.' There is no cocoa or melted chocolate in the batter of a blondie. Instead, blondies are made with brown sugar for a rich butterscotch flavor and plenty of vanilla extract for a wonderful vanilla flavor. A good blondie is gooey, chewy, and a little fudgy.

FAQs and Expert Tips. Are blondies meant to be gooey in the middle? Yes, blondies should have a gooey middle and be chewy. Don't overbake them or they will be dry.

Brownie textures fall into three general camps… Cakey, fudgy and chewy. Cakey brownies, like the name implies, are light, moist and airy, with a slightly fluffy, cake-like interior. Fudgy brownies are moist, dense and gooey, with almost the texture of fudge, but not quite as compact.

How to know when blondies are done. Remove the blondies from the oven when the edges look dry and set, but the center still looks slightly soft and underdone. If you have a toothpick, when you push it into the center, it should feel soft, but when you remove the toothpick, it should come out relatively clean.

If you underbake them, you'll end up with raw blondies; if you overbake them, they'll be dry and cakey. It's best to watch for visual cues (see below) and start checking them at the 18 minute mark. DON'T slice them hot.

In the case of brownies and blondies, most of the time you want to intentionally under-bake them to achieve that ideal moist, fudgy texture. The key is not under-baking them too much or too little. The toothpick test should produce a few errant crumbs stuck to the tester but not a smooth smear of batter.

They might be undercooked, or cooked in too hot an oven. If the oven is too hot, the outside will cook nicely, but, the heat won't get a chance to cook the inside of your baking.
