Description
Deliciously rich coffee blondies made with a blend of flavors that are sure to delight any dessert lover.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon instant coffee
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups light brown sugar (firmly packed)
- ¾ cup unsalted butter
- 2 eggs (at room temperature)
- 1 tablespoon coffee liqueur (like Kahlua, optional)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 5 ounces white chocolate chips (or chunks)
- ¾ cup walnuts (coarsely chopped, you can toast them lightly for a better flavor)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF (180°C).
- Butter a 9-inch square cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- Combine 1 tablespoon instant coffee and 1 tablespoon water in a small saucepan and stir until dissolved. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and mix.
- Place over low heat, add 2 cups light brown sugar and ¾ cup unsalted butter, and stir until the butter melts. Remove from the heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally. You can transfer it to a bowl to speed it up.
- Add 2 eggs and 1 tablespoon coffee liqueur to the butter mixture and whisk to combine.
- Sift 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder and ½ teaspoon salt directly into the butter mixture and stir to blend.
- Fold in 5 ounces white chocolate chips and ¾ cups walnuts. Transfer the blondie dough to the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake until a tester comes out almost clean, about 35 minutes. Do not overbake, or they will be tough.
- Cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes. Loosen sides with a smooth-bladed knife, turn onto a plate, peel off the paper, cut into wedges and serve.
Notes
- Toasting the walnuts enhances their flavor.
- For a richer flavor, consider using dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.
