Tips to Make Chewy Raspberry Blondies

Use fresh raspberries for the best flavor, but frozen ones work too. If using frozen, do not thaw them before adding.
Make sure to fold the raspberries gently to avoid breaking them too much.
Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. It should come out clean or with a few crumbs, not wet batter.
