Cookie Butter Stuffed Blondies

Ingredients

• 2 sticks (227 grams) unsalted butter, (melted)
• 1 3/4 cups (350 grams) dark brown sugar
• 2 large eggs plus 1 egg yolk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 2 cups (254 grams) all-purpose flour
• 1 cup (240 grams) Cookie Butter
• 2/3 cup (200 grams) sweetened condensed milk

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8 by 8-inch light-colored metal pan with foil or parchment paper. Spray with nonstick cooking spray.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine the hot melted butter and sugar with a rubber spatula. Set aside to cool. Add the eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla and stir until combined. Stir in the salt and flour.

3. 3

   Spread half the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 15 minutes, or until it just begins to set. Keep oven at 350°F.

4. 4

   In a heatproof container, microwave the cookie butter and condensed milk in 20-second bursts, stirring between bursts, until warmed through and well combined.

5. 5

   Using your hands, pick up portions of the Cookie Butter mixture and flatten with your palms. Place on top of the par-baked blondie layer in one even layer.

6. 6

   Spread the remaining blondie batter over the Cookie Butter layer evenly.

7. 7

   Return to the 350°F oven and bake for another 30 minutes, or until golden brown and set. Allow to cool in the pan completely. Cut into squares and serve.
