One bite of these moist and delectable Cowboy Blondies, loaded with chocolate chunks, oatmeal and coconut, and drizzled with a candied pecan topping, will leave you thanking Lisa, the old galoot.

ingredients
- Blondie Recipe
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- ½ cup shredded sweetened coconut
- 1½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1½ cups chopped white chocolate
- 1 cup coarsely chopped toasted pecans
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup butter
- 3 tbsp whole milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup icing sugar
Pecan Topping
directions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF. Coat a 13x9-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. Line the bottom and sides with parchment paper.
- In an electric mixer, cream together butter, sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla, adding eggs one at a time until combined. Add flour, baking soda, salt, oats, coconut, semi-sweet chocolate and white chocolate, mixing on low speed just until the flour disappears. Spread batter in prepared pan and bake 25-26 minutes, until golden brown on the top. Remove from oven and let cool completely before topping goes on.
- For the pecan topping, sprinkle toasted pecans over cooled cowboy blondies. In a medium saucepan, bring brown sugar, butter and milk to a boil over medium heat. Whisk constantly and let boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Gradually whisk in icing sugar and stir for a few minutes until slightly thickened. Pour over pecan pieces and let set completely before slicing.
