A new fundraising record! These Magic Blondies from Martha Stewart's "Cookies" book were definitely tasty treats. I whipped up a double batch and they consist of blondie batter studded with walnuts (and some pecans which I had on hand), dried cherries, chocolate chips, and coconut. Then more coco-nut-choc-cherry topping goes on top and bake in easy-to-unwrap cupcake liners.
The recipe makes 12 but I squeezed out a few extra and brought the big batch into work. This was our highest amount of money that we were able to raise so far, and I am pleased to say that we raised $32.33 for the Alzheimer's Association, making our new total money raised over $200 just by my baking and my generous coworkers! As I've mentioned before, my Cookies for a Cause work as a one-woman bake sale - my donations are the ingredients and time baking and 100% of my coworkers' donations are given to charities of my choice.
I'll keep baking if they keep donating! Hope you enjoy if you try the recipe!

Ingredients

2/3 cup sweetened flaked coconut
2/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
2/3 cup chopped walnuts (about 2 1/2 ounces)
2/3 cup dried cherries or cranberries
1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon coarse salt
9 tablespoons (1 1/8 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup packed light-brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Directions
Preheat oven to 350. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners; set aside. Stir together coconut, chocolate, walnuts, and cherries in a medium bowl; set aside.
Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
Put butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla; mix until combined.
Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture, and mix, scraping down sides of bowl, until well combined. Mix in 1 cup coconut mixture.
Divide batter among muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Sprinkle remaining coconut mixture over tops. Bake blondies until a cake tester inserted into center comes out with a few crumbs but is not wet, about 25 minutes. Blondies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 2 days.
Like the picture you took. Great idea to have it on top of the recipe.
