    Recipe Introduction


    Yield: 3 Dozen Bars

    List of Ingredients




    1 cup butter (2 sticks), at room temperature
    1½ cups brown sugar, packed
    2 large eggs, at room temperature
    2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
    2½ cups all purpose flour
    1½ teaspoons baking powder
    1 teaspoon salt
    2 cups Ghirardelli Classic White Chips
    ½ to 1 cup macadamia pieces, coarsely chopped

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 350°F. In medium size bowl, beat butter with brown sugar at medium speed until creamy and lightened in color, about 4 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating at low speed until combined. Add vanilla. Add flour, baking powder and salt to creamed mixture and fold until combined. Fold in chips and macadamia pieces. Spread batter in a 13" x 9" pan in an even layer. Bake at 350°F for 27 to 30 minutes. Let cool at least 40 minutes before cutting into squares. Store in airtight container at room temperature.

    Optional: Espresso White Chip Macadamia Bars: Add ¼ cup brewed espresso or 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder to the batter after combining eggs. Or substitute ¼ cup water and 4 teaspoons instant coffee, if espresso is not available. Bake as directed above.
