Cardamom Coffee Dirty Blondies
Soft, chewy Cardamom Coffee Blondies combine cozy spice, deep coffee flavor, and melty chocolate in one irresistible bar ~ a sophisticated twist on classic blondies.
Servings: 16 blondies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 Tbsp instant espresso powder, heaped
- 2 tsp ground cardamom
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract or paste
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, measure by spooning flour into your cup and leveling off with the side of a knife
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 10 oz semi-sweet, dark, or bittersweet chocolate chips, save a few to pop into the top of the blondies before baking
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease and flour your pan.
- Cream the 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature, 1 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup white sugar, 1 Tbsp instant espresso powder and 2 tsp ground cardamom together until fluffy. About 2 to 3 minutes.
- Beat the 2 large eggs in, one at a time. Then the 1 tsp pure vanilla extract or paste.
- Whisk the 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking soda and 1 tsp salt together and then add to the eggs and butter, mixing just until combined.
- Mix in the 10 oz semi-sweet, dark, or bittersweet chocolate chips.
- Spread the batter (it will be thick) into your prepared 9x13 pan. Pop a few extra chips into the top.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes. Don't over bake. They'll be wrinkled a bit around the edges, and a little bit of squooshyness inside is a good thing.
- Cool before cutting. (or don't.)
