"Blondies were my favorite cookie bar as a child. My grandmother made them the best! Here is a modified version of her recipe, which I adapted to use up some of the mega-bag of fresh cranberries that I bought at Costco. I think she would have liked these."

I think I messed these up because I thought they LOOKED done about 10 minutes before they were supposed to be so I took them out. Maybe my oven is just different because the top was golden brown-almost too brown-but after they cooled and I cut them, they werent done on the inside. But they TASTE wonderful. I will maybe turn the oven temp down next time and see how that does.
