Halloween Blondies
The high amount of baking soda makes the dough rise up quite a bit, like a puffy cookie. But I couldn't taste the baking soda.
I made these tonight with dried cranberries in place of the dried cherries. I also used 1 cup mini chocolate chips. I noticed the texture seemed too chewy which is why I went back to check the ingredients and realized my mistake in using 3 eggs instead of 2, but other than the texture you couldn't taste the extra egg. They seemed bland. Needed more salt? Higher quality butter? Add cinnamon? Not sure but they were just okay. Since I messed up the egg I'd be willing to try again.
I want desperately to make this recipe but am put off by the amount of baking soda. Is this a misprint? Never saw so much baking soda in a recipe in my life.
