Peaches And Cream Blondies
- 1-2/3 cup All Purpose Flour (plus 2 Tablespoons For The Cream Cheese Mixture)
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 3/4 teaspoons Salt
- 11 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, Divided
- 1 cup Brown Sugar, Packed
- 3 whole Large Eggs, Divided
- 1-1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract, Divided
- 6 ounces, weight Cream Cheese, At Room Temperature
- 1/4 cups Granulated Sugar
- 1 whole Large Peach, Pitted, Peeled, Diced Small
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line a greased 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, allowing a 2-inch overhang of paper. Grease parchment paper; set pan aside.
- Whisk together 1 2/3 cups flour, the baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl, and set aside.
- Put 9 tablespoons of butter and the brown sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add 2 eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla; mix until combined. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture, mix, scraping down sides of bowl, until well combined. Transfer to a large bowl.
- Put cream cheese, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, remaining 2 tablespoons butter, remaining 2 tablespoons flour, remaining egg, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon vanilla into the clean bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; beat on medium speed until just smooth. Fold in the diced peach.
- Pour half the blondie batter into the prepared pan, and spread evenly with an offset spatula. Spoon two-thirds of the cream-cheese mixture on top, and spread evenly. Drop dollops of remaining blondie batter on top (spacing about 1 inch apart), and spread. Top with dollops of remaining cream-cheese mixture, about 1 inch apart. Gently swirl cream cheese mixture into batter with a butter knife, running the knife lengthwise and crosswise through layers.
- Place pan into the preheated oven and bake until golden brown and a cake tester inserted into center comes out with a few crumbs but is not wet, about 45 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack before lifting the bars out of the pan (using the parchment paper overhang) and cutting into squares.
