IRISH COFFEE BARS - CHEWY DELICIOUS BLONDIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Butter a 9 x 13 inch baking pan, and line with parchment. (If you don't have parchment, you can use PAM with good results as well).
• Whisk together flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
• Melt the 2 cups of butter, and pour into a mixing bowl with brown sugar, ground coffee, and 1 teaspoon salt.
• Stir to combine.
• Stir in eggs and vanilla extract.
• Stir in flour mixture until just combined.
• Pour batter into pan, and sprinkle with almonds.
• Bake 27 - 30 minutes, depending on how chewy you like your blondies (a shorter baking time results in a chewier blondie). Let cool completely before adding glaze.
• Make the glaze by whisking together 1 tablespoon of melted butter and whiskey.
• Gradually whisk in confectioners sugar until glaze is thick but pourable (you may not need all the sugar).
• Using a spoon or a pastry bag fitted with a plain round tip, drizzle glaze over blondies in a rough crosshatch pattern.
• Let glaze dry 1 hour.
• Cut blondies into 2 inch squares.
• Blondies can be stored at room temperature up to 2 days, or freeze in an airtight container for longer keeping.
