Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 cup ( 2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 1/3 cups light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped macadamia nuts, divided
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, divided

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and grease or line with parchment paper a 9x9 baking pan.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a large bowl or in a mixer, mix together the butter and brown sugar until light and creamy. Then add in the eggs and vanilla extract. Stir or beat until well combined.
  • Add in the flour mixture and just mix until combined, do not over mix your batter.
  • Reserve 1/4 cup of the macadamia nuts and 1/8 cup of the white chocolate chips to sprinkle on top of the blondies. Gently mix in the remaining macadamia nuts and white chocolate chips into the blondie batter.
  • Pour the batter into your prepared baking pan and spread out evenly. Topped with the reserved macadamia nuts and white chocolate chips.
  • Bake for 25-28 minutes or until a tooth pick comes out clean. If you want your blondies a little more gooey, take them out a little earlier than 25 minutes.

Notes

  1. These bars are not overly sweet as I cut down the sugar from the original recipe.  If you prefer your blondies to be a little sweeter, you can increase the sugar by 1/4-1/2 cup.
  2. You could substitute the while chocolate chips with milk, semi-sweet, or dark chocolate chips.
  3. If there are nuts that you like more than macadamia nuts, you could use those instead.  This would be amazing with some walnuts.
  4. These will keep well in an airtight container for a couple of days on your counter, or a week in the fridge.  If you want to keep them longer, I would recommend freezing any leftovers in a freezer bag.
