Instructions:
- Prepare the Oven and Pan:

- Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal.

- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Bake the Blondies:
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve:
- Let the blondies cool in the pan on a wire rack. Once cool, use the parchment paper to lift them out of the pan.
