    Mel’s Notes:
    1. Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free 1 to 1 Baking Flour is my favorite. Chickpea flour made the absolute worst blondies ever. 🤣
    2. I use the organic Woodstock or Wholesome brand for both my sugars. I prefer light brown sugar over dark.
    3. I put one stick of unsalted butter in the window sill to soften the stick and bring it up to room temp. Did you know 8 tablespoons, 1 stick, & 1/2 cup are all the same measurement. ☺️
    4. Don & I strongly disagree on the chocolate chips used in this recipe. He would prefer organic & dark. I prefer Ghirardelli Premium Baking Milk Chocolate Chips.
