Chewy, Chunky Blondies
Chewy, Chunky Blondies are dense bars combining a buttery brown sugar batter with semisweet chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, chopped walnuts, and shredded coconut. Baked until golden honey brown with a moist interior that pulls away slightly from the pan edges, these blondies offer a rich chewiness punctuated by nutty crunch and sweet chips.

Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
- 1½ cups light brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 1 cup walnuts coarsely chopped
- 1 cup coconut sweetened shredded
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Butter a 9x13-inch baking pan; set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- With a stand or hand mixer, beat the butter on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Add both sugars and beat for another 3 minutes, until well incorporated. Add the eggs one at a time, beating until fully incorporated after each addition, then beat in the vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the flour mixture, 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 and use the spatula to even the top as best as you can.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center of the blondies comes out clean. The blondies should pull away from the sides of the pan a little and the top should be a nice honey brown. Transfer the pan to a rack and cool completely. Cut into bars; store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.

Notes
- Butter and sugars should be creamed well to incorporate air for the right texture.
- Check doneness by inserting a knife; it should come out clean when blondies are fully baked.
- Allow blondies to cool completely before cutting to maintain structural integrity.
