So, I took myself in the kitchen, got out my Better Homes & Gardens New Baking Book
(which I love) and looked up Blondies. The recipe tells you to melt the butter and brown sugar together til sugar dissolves (that stuff is HOT by the way), cool slightly, then add the eggs. During the "cool slightly" phase, I decided to peruse Craigs List for strollers and forgot the "slightly" part...well, when I returned it was hard as a rock, and remelting was a disaster. I started over - this time I cooled "VERY slightly" to avoide the previous mistake and scrambled my eggs in the sugar - what a rookie mistake! I'm ashamed! I gave up.The last time I made Blondies they weren't that great anyway - kind of got hard overnight. So, I need your help! Please post your best Blondie recipe (with no melting and slightly cooling involved, if at all possible)! This pregnant woman is desperate over here...I had to resort to an Otter Pop for my "treat" last night, which just isn't the same as buttery, chocolatey goodness!

Cherry Almond Blondies
Looks like you've got plenty already, but here's my new favorite blondie recipe!
Courtesy of Dorie Greenspan's Baking From My Home to Yours (practically my baking bible this summer!) I really enjoyed these blondies! I like that you can play around with the ingredients for what taste you have!
2 cups All Purpose Flour
3/4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
2 sticks (8 ounces) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups (packed) light brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
6 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped into chips, OR 1 cup store-bought chocolate chips
1 cup butterscotch chips or Heath Toffee Bits
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
Center a rack in the oven and preheat to 325 Degrees F.
Butter a 9-x-13 inch baking pan and put it on a baking sheet.
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Working with a stand mixer, preferably fitted with a paddle attachment, or with a hand mixer in a large bowl, beat the butter on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
Add both sugars and beat for another 3 minutes, or until well incorporated.
Add the eggs one by one, beating for 1 minute after each addition, then beat in the vanilla.
Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the dry ingredients, mixing just until they disappear into the batter.
Using a rubber spatula, stir in the chips, nuts, and coconut. Scrape the batter into the buttered pan and use the spatula to even the top as best as you can.
Bake for about 40 minutes, or until knife inserted into the center of the blondies comes out clean.
The blondies should pull away from the sides of the pan a little and the top should be a nice honey brown.
Transfer the pan to a rack and cool for about 15 minutes before turning the blondies out onto another rack. Invert onto a rack and cool the blondies to room temperature right side up.
Cut into 32 bars, each roughly 2 1/4 x 1 1/2 inches.
Storing: Wrapped well, the blondies will keep for about 3 days at room temperature and for up to 2 months in the freezer.
Enjoy your blondies, hopefully disaster free this time!
I don't know if these are considered "blondies" but they are dang good and get rave reviews whenever I make them. It's from Martha Stewart, so really, can you go wrong?

So did you find a stroller?!
I DID! And it was totally worth messing up my blondies for... :) I'm so excited, I picked it up last night (found on craigslist...my first craigslist purchase in fact). Got a GREAT deal on a beautiful Peg Perego stroller and infant car seat...Red and Charcoal. It's silly how excited I am about it! :) Now maybe I can focus on proper blondie assembly...
