  3. Stir in 1 cup of packed light brown sugar, add one large egg and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
  4. Gently fold in 1 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Mix until just combined.
  5. Spread the blondie batter evenly in the prepared pan with a spatula.
