Step 1: Preheat the Oven - Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your blondies bake evenly and achieve that perfect golden color.
Step 2: Prepare Your Baking Pan - Line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy lifting later.
Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients - In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until well combined. Next, add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients - In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
Step 5: Fold in Coconut and Chocolate Chips - Gently fold in the sweetened shredded coconut and white chocolate chips. The batter will be thick and slightly sticky.
Step 6: Bake the Blondies - Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden.
Step 7: Cool and Drizzle - Allow the blondies to cool for about 10 minutes before lifting them out. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely and drizzle melted chocolate over the top.
