Ingredients & Their Role
For the Blondies:

2 cups brown sugar – Adds moisture, chewiness, and a rich molasses-like sweetness.
2 eggs – Bind the ingredients and contribute to the soft texture.
2 teaspoons vanilla – Enhances the depth of flavor.
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour – The base that gives structure to the blondies.
1 teaspoon baking powder – Provides just enough lift for a soft, dense texture.
1 teaspoon salt – Balances the sweetness and enhances flavor.
1 ½ cups shredded sweetened coconut – Adds chewiness, subtle crunch, and a tropical hint.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Baking Dish & Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Brown the Butter
In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the butter.
Once the butter starts to bubble, swirl the pan continuously to prevent burning.
Continue cooking until the butter turns a deep amber color and smells nutty.
Remove from heat immediately to prevent burning.
Mix in the Brown Sugar
Add the brown sugar to the warm browned butter.
Stir until fully incorporated, creating a smooth, glossy mixture.
