Guy Fieri redefines blondies with this riff on the classic bar cookie. He starts his batter by whipping cream cheese with butter, and the[ result is a light, standout snack-cakey treat.] Ingredients:
nonstick cooking spray |
1 cup all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon fine salt |
1/3 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature |
3 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature |
1 cup packed light brown sugar |
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract |
1 large egg |
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips or chunks |
1/2 cup chopped toasted hazelnuts |
1/4 cup sweetened shredded coconut |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Mist an 8-inch-square glass baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a small bowl.
3. Beat the butter and cream cheese in a large bowl with a mixer at medium speed until fluffy. Add the brown sugar and beat 3 to 4 more minutes. Beat in the vanilla and egg. Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips, hazelnuts and coconut with a wooden spoon.
4. Spread the batter in the prepared baking dish and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool 20 minutes in the dish before slicing.
