Espresso Chocolate Chip Blondies Recipes

ESPRESSO CHOCOLATE CHIP BLONDIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease and line a 13×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, making a sling with the paper by leaving a 1-inch overhang over the top of the sides of the pan. You'll need this to lift the blondies out of the pan. If you'll be serving them from the pan, skip the parchment altogether and just grease the pan.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, espresso powder, baking powder, and salt together. In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter and sugar together until well-combined. Whisk the eggs in along with the vanilla. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients with a rubber spatula until just combined. Fold both types of chocolate chips into the batter, just until combined. Do not overstir.
• Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and work it out to the sides and into the corners of the pan in an even layer. Smooth out the top.
• Bake for about 22 minutes, just until the top is shiny, crackled, and golden at the edges. Do not overbake. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan. When you're ready to cut and serve, pull them out of the pan using the parchment sling and transfer to a cutting board. Cut into 24 or 36 squares.
• Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature, OR
• To freeze, wrap squares in foil and stick the foil packet in a zip-top bag, and squeeze all of the air out of the bag before sealing. Freeze for up to 2 months.

COFFEE CHOCOLATE CHIP BLONDIES

Steps:

• With the oven rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9 by 13-inch baking dish and line it with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Set aside.
• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, coconut sugar and salt. Cook, stirring often, until the butter is completely melted and the mixture is hot but not simmering. Remove from the heat and stir in the coffee until well combined (if the mixture refuses to come together, let it cool for a minute or two and try again). Let the mixture cool to room temperature, about 15 to 20 minutes.
• In the meantime, pour the pecans onto a small rimmed baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 5 to 8 minutes, until they're nice and fragrant, stirring halfway. Set aside to cool.
• Once the butter and sugar mixture has cooled to room temperature, add the egg and vanilla and whisk until combined. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Add the flour mixture and stir just until combined. Add the pecans and chocolate chips and stir gently to combine.
• Using a spatula, spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan (this is a little tricky with the parchment paper, but you can do it, I promise). Bake for 18 to 24 minutes, until the blondies are set on the edges and the top is golden brown and just beginning to form cracks. A wooden skewer or toothpick inserted into the blondies should come out with just a couple of crumbs.
• Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let it cool completely. Grab opposite corners of the parchment paper and gently lift the blondies from the pan onto a flat surface. Cut them into squares (big or small, up to you) and serve.
