Coconut Oil Chocolate Chunk Blondies Food

CHOCOLATE CHUNK BLONDIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour an 8 x 12 x 2 inch baking pan.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on high speed for 3 minutes, until light and fluffy. With the mixer on low, add the vanilla, then the eggs, one at a time, and mix well, scraping down the bowl. In a small bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda and salt and with the mixer still on low, slowly add flour mixture to the butter mixture. Fold the walnuts and chocolate chunks in with a rubber spatula.
• Spread the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30 minutes exactly. Don't overbake! A toothpick may not come out clean. Cool completely in the pan and cut into bars.

CHOCOLATE COCONUT BLONDIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8 by 8-inch metal baking pan with foil or parchment, leaving an overhang. Spray with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a large bowl combine the butter and sugar with a rubber spatula. Add the eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla and stir until combined. Stir in the salt and flours. The mixture will be a thick dough-like batter. Stir in 3/4 of the coconut and chocolate chunks.
• Spread the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with the remaining coconut and chocolate chunks, pressing into the batter slightly. Bake for about 40 minutes, or until set but still gooey.
• Allow to cool before cutting into bars using a big sharp knife or a big plastic knife. For cleaner cuts, wipe the blade under hot running water between cuts.
• Cover and store blondies at room temperature for up to 3 days. If desired, nuke in the microwave before serving.
