Preheat your oven to 175Β°C (350Β°F). Grease and line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
In a skillet, toast the shredded coconut over medium heat until golden brown and aromatic, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove it from the heat and whisk in the brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth.
Allow the butter-sugar mixture to cool slightly, then whisk in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the toasted coconut and white chocolate chips, ensuring they're evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it into an even layer with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25β28 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, use the parchment overhang to lift them out of the pan and cut them into 16 squares.
Serve and enjoy your chewy, coconut-packed blondies!
