White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Blondies


OH OH OHHHHHH! I'm sure you all are sick of me complaining  know about my passionate hate for my oven, that may I add, is like 50 years old. 
No exaggeration. I was getting quite sick of under done or burnt pans of baked goods. 
I FIGURED OUT THE SECRET! 
If any of you are having the same issue, switch it so that the heat is coming from above instead of 
from below half way through the baking time. 
Then you get the perfect doneness on the top AND the bottom. 
You're so welcome. 


ANYHOO. 
I'd take a blondie over a brownie ANY day. 
Don't get me wrong I am an obsessive CHOCOHALIC!
But there's something about that buttery, rich inside and crunchy exterior of a blondie. 
Heavenly amazingness, that's what it is. 


These beauts are no exception. 
Crunchy exterior, and a chewy, buttery interior. 
The macadamia nuts add an earthy, nutty tone, balanced out by the rich 
gooeyness of the white chocolate chips. 
Umm yumm.
