Blondies
I go this recipe from the BEST DESSERT recipe book ever (from Anthropology--yeah, who knew a clothes shop would have a great recipe book . . . well, it IS Anthro . . . ). It's worth buying just for the pictures and the whole idea of beautiful, simple desserts that MELT you. It's called The Beekman 1802 Heirloom Dessert Cookbook
These are to die for . . . so I'd double it :)
Blondies with White Chocolate and Macadamias (though I omit the nuts thanks to my allergic kids)
Ingredients:
Melted butter and flour for the pan
8 tbsp (1 stick) unsalted butter at room temperature
3/4 c packed dark brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp Vanilla
1 c flour (all purpose)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 c. macadamia nuts
1/2 c. coarsely chopped white chocolate (or white chocolate chips)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350.
Butter 8 by 8 inch pan.
Line bottom of pan with parchment paper (you don't have to do this, but it makes clean up and serving so much easier) leaving 2 inches around the edges. Butter and flour the parchment paper.
In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Cook for 2 minutes, or until the butter is golden with little bits of brown spots.
Immediately remove from heat and transfer to a bowl.
Wisk in the brown sugar.
Wisk in the egg and vanilla
Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt. Fold in nuts and white chocolate chips.
Pour into pan.
Bake for 18-25 minutes--or until a tooth pick inserted in the middle, comes out with little crumbs clinging to it.
Let cool for about 10 minutes and then pull out with the parchment and cut and serve . . . I promise, if you bring this anywhere, they'll be gone in minutes. Heaven!
