Blueberry-White Chocolate Chip Blondies

These cookies are some of the most popular that I make, probably because of the unusual combination of flavors. I decided that those same tastes would make tasty blondies—the inspiration for this recipe. The addition of lemon zest adds depth of flavor and freshness. Enjoy!

Blueberry-White Chocolate Chip Blondies
1 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Zest from 1 lemon
1 bag white chocolate chips

1 cup dried blueberries

1. Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until blended after each addition. Add in vanilla. Combine flour and next 3 ingredients; gradually add to butter mixture. Add in white chocolate chips and blueberries.
2. Line a 13- x 9-inch baking dish with parchment paper, and pread the batter into the prepared pan.

3. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes. Cool completely in the pan, and cut into bars.
