White Chocolate Macademia Nut Blondies

• 1/2 pound, plus 1 teaspoon butter, at room temperature
• 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tablespoons vanilla extract
• 3 cups plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 cups white chocolate chips
• 1 cup macadamia nuts, toasted and rough chopped

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Place 1/2 pound of the butter and the brown sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
3. Cream the butter and sugar on medium speed until a smooth batter is formed.
4. While the machine is running, add the eggs and vanilla extract, until incorporated into the batter.
5. Sift together 3 cups flour and baking powder.
6. Slowly add the flour mixture to the batter and mix on low speed until a dough is formed.
7. Very gently, by turning the mixer on and then off, fold the chips and nuts into the dough.
8. Once the dough is all blended, grease a 9 by 9-inch baking pan with the remaining butter and dust with the 1 tablespoon of flour.
9. Pour the batter into the pan and place in the preheated oven.
10. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until set yet still moist.
