Samoa Blondies

By chelyc13

Ingredients

• 10 tblsp unsalted butter
• 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 2 teas vanilla extract
• 1/4 teas kosher salt
• 1 1/4 cups flour
• 1 1/4 cups sweetened flaked coconut
• 1 1/4 cups bittersweet or semisweet chocolate chips

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat the oven to 350. Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

2. Heat the butter in a small saucepan over high heat until it browns and smells nutty. Let the butter cool for a few moments, until just barely warm.

3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the browned butter and sugars. With a wooden spoon, mix in the egg, vanilla, and salt. Graudally stir in the flour, coconut, and chocolate chips until blended.

4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a rubber spatula. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. (the center should still be soft - I like to pull them out at 25 minutes for a slightly gooey, underbaked blondie. Leaving them in for the full 30 minutes will ensure a completely baked blondie). Let the blondie cool before turning it out onto a cutting board and slicing into squares.
