Week 10- Blondies

I have been looking through my Bryan-safe cookbooks lately for a "Go-To" cookie recipe- a cookie recipe that is relatively quick, easy, and that everyone in my family will enjoy. While Bryan liked the last cookie recipe that I tried, it wasn't quite what I was hoping for, so I have been planning to experiment a little. This week, I tried a new recipe for Blondies- basically, chocolate chip cookie bars. This one called for oat flour, which I had read recently can help provide a chewier texture to baked goods without eggs- and which should resolve the issue I had with the last recipe. Gave it a try, and...

Recipe- Blondies from Sophie-Safe Cooking by Emily Hendrix
Modifications- None
Reactions- Bryan and Claudia both enjoyed them, although Bryan did say he didn't like the hard part (see below). I liked them as well, except for the hard part. Dad said he wanted to try one, but I don't think he ever got around to it.
Notes- These didn't bake as evenly as I had hoped. In an 8x8 pan, they were fairly thick, and the top layer and edges became very crunchy before the inside was cooked through. Flavor was good- like an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie, but without the oatmeal texture (go figure, right?) I wonder if they would bake more evenly in a larger pan...
