2sticks, 8 ounces unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/2cupspacked light brown sugar
1/2cupsugar
2large eggs
1teaspoonpure vanilla extract
6ouncesbittersweet chocolate, chopped into chips, or 1 cup store-bought chocolate chips
1cupbutterscotch chips or Heath Toffee Bits, I used Toffee Bits
1cupcoarsely chopped walnuts
1cupsweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Butter a 9×13-inch baking pan and put it on a baking sheet.
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Beat the butter on medium speed in a large bowl until smooth and creamy. Add both sugars and beat for another 3 minutes, or until well incorporated. Add the eggs one by one, beating for 1 minute after each addition, then beat in the vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the dry ingredients, mixing just until they disappear into the batter. Using a rubber spatula, stir in the chips, nuts and coconut. Scrape the batter into the buttered pan .
Bake for about 40 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center of the Blondie comes out clean. The blondies should pull away from the sides of the pan a little and the top golden brown.
Notes
-I lined the pan with foil, then sprayed with cooking spray. After the bars were baked, I waited about 10 minutes, then lifted the whole pan out, and finished cooling.
