BLONDIE BITES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Line mini muffin pans with paper liners.
• Place the butter and 4 ounces white chocolate in a large bowl. Microwave on high in 30 second intervals, stirring between each, until mixture is smooth. It takes my microwave about 90 seconds before I'm happy with the mixture.
• Stir in the brown sugar and the white sugar.
• Stir in the eggs, one at a time, and beat well after each addition.
• Gradually stir in the flour.
• Stir in the vanilla.
• Then, stir in the white chocolate chips and the nuts.
• Just as an aside, don't you love the fact that you don't need to use your mixer for this recipe, just stir, stir and stir.
• Spoon the batter into the muffin pans.
• Bake for about 15 minutes, until lightly browned.
• While the babies are baking, lick your spoon.
• Cool in pans for 5 minutes. Then, remove from pans and cool on wire racks.

• Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl, and set aside.
• Put butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; cream on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla; beat until combined. Add flour mixture, and beat on low speed, scraping down sides of bowl, until well incorporated. Mix 1 cup coconut mixture into batter.

BLONDIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Line the pan with parchment, leaving an overhang, then butter the parchment.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together in a medium bowl and set aside. In another bowl, whisk the melted butter and brown sugar together until combined. Add the vanilla and eggs and stir to combine. Fold the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, being careful not to overmix. Fold in the walnuts and 1 cup of the chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Scatter the remaining 2 tablespoons chocolate chips over the batter.
• Bake until the top is a light golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes, being careful not to overbake. Let cool on a wire rack. Remove the blondies from the pan and transfer to a cutting board. Cut into rectangles, sprinkle with flaky salt and serve.
