Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8-inch square baking pan by spraying it with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer for about 3 minutes until creamy.
  3. Melt the butter and let it cool slightly, then add it to the egg and sugar mixture along with the vanilla and almond extracts.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt, then fold this mixture into the wet ingredients.
  5. Gently fold in the chopped almonds to ensure even distribution throughout the batter.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly, and bake for 25-30 minutes until the edges are golden.
  7. Allow the blondies to cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before cutting into squares.
