Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

- 1 cup toasted coconut flakes
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
- Gradually mix in the flour mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Stir in the white chocolate chips and toasted coconut flakes.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
Notes:
- For an extra-coconut flavor, toast some additional coconut flakes in a dry skillet over medium heat until lightly browned and fragrant.
- White chocolate can be substituted with milk or dark chocolate chips for a different twist.
- These blondies are perfect for a potluck or dessert party. Just cut into squares and serve!
