I don't mean to open up a heated conversation about this but, blondies are so much better than brownies. I said it! They're like chocolate chip cookie bars... gooey, soft, preferably warm... These blondies are made with lots of sesame paste (tahini) which give them a distinctive deep nutty flavor.
Ingredients

Transfer the pan into the oven and bake for 22-23 minutes for a very gooey blondie or 26-28 for one that is more baked through. Allow to cool!
