Time 45m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
12 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 1/2 sticks, melted and cooled)
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup pecans, toasted and chopped
1 1/2 cups sweetened flaked coconut, toasted

Steps:

  • Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Line a 13x9 inch baking pan with a foil sling and grease the foil.
  • Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the butter and sugar together.
  • Whisk in the eggs and vanilla until combined.
  • Stir in the flour mixture until just incorporated.
  • Stir in the chips and nuts.
  • Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  • Bake the blondies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached, 22 to 25 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through baking.
  • Let the blondies cool completely in the pan, set on a wire rack, about 2 hours.
  • Remove the blondies from the pan using the foil, cut into squares, and serve.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my blondies turned out dry and crumbly.

These blondies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good.
