I figure it would make the blondies a little bit thicker, but there's nothing wrong with that! And I figure they'd need to bake slightly longer to compensate. <br /><br />Thanks!<br />JaneJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09530631702237541328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8825290557185698676.post-64589353286800637672009-09-04T09:18:06.472-04:002009-09-04T09:18:06.472-04:00Jane- Do you think these could be done in a 9x13 i...Jane- Do you think these could be done in a 9x13 instead of the 2 8x8s?

I have a potluck coming up in 3 weeks (you can't imagine how much agony I go through to pick something to bring - obviously everyone expects dessert from me - but there are so many good recipes to choose from) :o)Hanaâhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15660317268731033542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8825290557185698676.post-73747758300971820452009-09-01T08:45:50.524-04:002009-09-01T08:45:50.524-04:00Hi Hanaa, About the flour, no I didn't weigh i...Hi Hanaa, About the flour, no I didn't weigh it for this recipe (though I do have a nice digital food scale that I am coming to use more regularly and truly love!). i usually just fluff up the flour in its container first, with a fork, then I use a really big round spoon to scoop it out gently and put it into my measuring cup, which I then level off with the side of a knife. I tend to be pretty careful this way when I'm making something like a cake, but I'm not quite so fanatic if I'm throwing something together that I've made before and that's more forgiving. I didn't weigh the cream cheese either, but just estimated 3 oz. based on a full 8 oz. brick. If I were dealing with a partial brick, I might actually do the weighing to make sure my amount was accurate (especially if I were making something skittish like a special cheesecake, etc.). Yes, these blondies are indeed chewy and hard to resist! <br /><br />Thanks very much,<br />JaneJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09530631702237541328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8825290557185698676.post-54660036422176928302009-08-31T15:35:18.965-04:002009-08-31T15:35:18.965-04:00I'm normally not a big blondie fan but these l...I'm normally not a big blondie fan but these look chewy and amazing. I'm very much intrigued by your use of cream cheese. I have to admit, I'm a kitchen-scale addict. Did you happen to weigh your ingredients (especially the flour) or could you otherwise provide how you measured the flour (dip & sweep vs lightly spooned)?<br /><br />I found your blog via Heather's Scootabaker blog and I'm glad I did. I'll be coming back. Good luck with your culinary education.Hanaâhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15660317268731033542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8825290557185698676.post-32405848430529374432009-08-28T09:17:32.713-04:002009-08-28T09:17:32.713-04:00These look amazingly fantastic!

Yep, they are indeed to die for(iguratively speaking, of course)! ;)<br /><br />Hi Cookie --<br />I think the addition of a little cream cheese in this kind of dough adds a bit of zing to the flavor, and I also think that it affects the texture in a nice way. That's my unscientific observation. I also have a chocolate chip cookie recipe in the blog ("Failsafe Chocolate Chip Cookies") that uses a small amount of cream cheese to the same effect. (You're in such good shape, based on your blog photos and profile info, you could eat the whole pan if you wanted to with no scary repercussions! :)<br /><br />Thanks!<br />JaneJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09530631702237541328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8825290557185698676.post-89184408627073008522009-08-27T18:25:53.096-04:002009-08-27T18:25:53.096-04:00I love blondies but I've never had them with c...I love blondies but I've never had them with cream cheese inside.

I hope you like them!
