Blondies from Holly Palmgren

 I line the pan with a sling of parchment paper to make them easy to take out.

1 1/2 cups shredded coconut--TOAST FIRST
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
12 Tbs butter(1 1/2 sticks) melted and cooled
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
2 large eggs lightly beaten
4 tsp vanilla
4 ounces Ghirardelli bittersweet chocolate chips (I use a cup)
4 ounces Ghirardelli white chocolate chips (I use a cup)

Set oven @ 350. Grease and flour 9 x 13 glass baking dish.
Whisk flour,baking powder,salt in a bowl and set aside.
Whisk melted butter and brown sugar until combined. Add eggs and vanilla and mix well. Before folding the coconut and chocolate chips into the mixture make sure it is cool,otherwise the chocolates chips will melt! Pour the mixture into the prepared pan,smoothing top with spatula.
Bake 25-30 minutes
Do Not Overbake.
Top will be shiny,cracked and golden brown.
Cool to room temp on wire rack before cutting.
ENJOY!
