Chef Kate’s Lavender Blondies

I like to use organic ingredients whenever possible, because it is healthier and just makes things taste better! These Blondies were featured on Gwyneth Paltrow’s lifestyle website www.goop.com and are one of her all-time favorite treats. I have added lavender to the recipe, giving it a delightful healing herbal twist that I am sure you will love.



2 cups butter (room temperature)
1 1/2 cups organic sugar
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
4 organic eggs
4 teaspoons vanilla
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon dried culinary lavender flowers
(available at www.kclfarm.com)
2 cups shredded unsweetened coconut
1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups small marshmallows

With an electric mixer, blend butter, organic sugar, and brown sugar until creamy.
Add eggs one at a time and stir in vanilla. In a separate bowl, combine flour, sea salt, baking soda, and lavender flowers. Slowly add the flour mixture into the batter and
mix well. Fold in the shredded coconut, white chocolate chips, and marshmallows.
Pour the mixture in a medium baking pan coated with nonstick cooking spray.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes. Cover the Blondies loosely with foil to
prevent the top from burning. Continue baking for 15 minutes until the insides are
a slightly firm. They should be soft and chewy inside when done.
Remember to share!
