These sultry Cardamom Coffee Blondies are worlds away from your standard chocolate chip blondie, with smokey undertones of espresso and the sensuous aroma of cardamom ~ but all that just makes them just a little more mysterious.

Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 heaping Tbsp instant espresso powder
- 1 heaping Tbsp ground cardamom
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 10 oz bag bittersweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Set oven to 350F
- Cream the butter, espresso powder, cardamom and sugars together until fluffy. About 2 to 3 minutes.
- Beat the eggs in, one at a time. Then the vanilla.
- Whisk the flour, soda and salt together and then add to the eggs and butter, mixing just until combined.
- Mix in the chocolate chips.
- Spread the batter (it will be thick) into a 9x13 glass baking dish, lined with parchment (or greased).
- Bake for 30-35 minutes. Don't over bake. They'll be wrinkled a bit around the edges, and a little bit of squooshyness inside is a good thing.
- Cool before cutting. (or don't)
