White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Blondies

Recipe by The View From the Great Island

These White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Blondies are a moist chewy blondie loaded with white chocolate chips and buttery macadamia nuts ~ they're a vanilla lover's dream!

Ingredients

• 1⅔ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter (at room temperature)
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• the seeds of 1 vanilla bean
• heaping 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
• heaping 1/2 cup macadamia nuts, coarsely chopped

Method

1. Set oven to 350F
2. Line an 8×8 pan with parchment, this will make the blondies easy to remove and to cut cleanly. If you don’t use parchment, lightly grease the pan.
3. Measure out your flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl. Whisk to combine.
4. Cream the butter and sugar until fluffy. Then add the eggs, one at a time, the vanilla, and vanilla bean seeds, and mix well.
5. Add the flour mixture and mix until just combined.
6. Fold in the nuts and white chocolate.
7. Spread evenly in your pan and bake for 35 minutes— a toothpick inserted near the center should come out moist with a few crumbs and the blondies will be light golden.
8. Cool before cutting.
