Drunken Blondies

Category: Bars

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp fine sea salt
2 sticks unsalted butter, melted
2 cups packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 tbsp bourbon
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup sweetened, shredded coconut, toasted I forgot to toast and it was still great!)
1/4 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips

Place a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350F. Line a 9 x 13 inch baking pan with foil and grease. Set aside.

Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.

Beat butter and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Add the eggs, vanilla, and bourbon, mixing until combined. Stir in the flour mixture, followed by the pecans, coconut, and chocolate chips.

Spread the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the top is golden brown. Remove the pan and allow to cool on a wire rack. Once cool, cut into bars and serve.

*Blondies will keep at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days
