Yield 9 blondies

Number Of Ingredients 13

Nonstick cooking spray
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips or chunks
1/2 cup chopped hazelnuts
1/4 cup sweetened shredded coconut

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Mist an 8-inch-square glass baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a small bowl.
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.
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.
