Platinum Blondies
- 2 sticks (16 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly, plus more for greasing
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups (one 11-ounce bag) white chocolate chips, such as Ghirardelli
- 8 ounces roasted, salted macadamia nuts, coarsely chopped (keep them bigger than the chips)
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cut a piece of foil 9 by 20-inches.
- Butter the corners and sides of a 9-by-13-inch baking pan.
- Line the pan with the foil so that the excess hangs over at each of the short sides of the pan.
- Whisk the flour with the baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.
- Whisk the eggs, sugars and vanilla until smooth in a large bowl.
- Using a rubber spatula, stir in the melted butter.
- Stir the flour mixture into the butter mixture until just combined.
- Stir in the white chocolate chips and nuts.
- Spread the batter in the prepared pan using a large spoon.
- Sprinkle the coconut over the top and press it in lightly.
- Bake until the top of the blondie is golden and set, the coconut is very brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Cool completely on a rack, about 1 hour.
- When the blondie has cooled completely, place a lightweight cutting board or a baking rack over the top of the pan.
- Flip and set on the counter.
- Gently pull the pan from the foil and the foil from the pan to remove.
- Gently peel the foil off the blondies.
- Place another lightweight cutting board on top, and flip the blondie right-side-up.
- Slice into fifteen 2 1/2-by-3-inch rectangles, then slice each rectangle on the diagonal to form 30 triangle-shaped bars.
