White Chocolate Coconut Blondies

Ingredients

• 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 12 ounces white chocolate chips
• 2 sticks (8 ounces) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
• 5 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut

Preparation

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.   Spray the sides and bottom of a 9x13 inch pan.
• Put the white chocolate and butter in a saucepan and melt together over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and smooth.  

• Turn off the heat and add the sugars.  Whisk until completely combined.  Remove from burner and let cool slightly (I transferred to a big bowl).
• Add eggs, one at a time, and whisk until combined.  Add the vanilla.

• Sprinkle the flour, salt, and coconut over the chocolate mixture.  Using a rubber spatula, fold the flour and coconut into the chocolate until combined, but not over-mixed.

• Pour the batter into the pan and place in the center of the oven for 30 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through.  A toothpick inserted into the center of the blondies should come out with a few moist crumbs sticking to it.
