Kentucky Blondies

Kentucky Blondies
Adapted from a recipe by the brilliant Thomas McCurdy

1 stick butter, still cool/cold
3/4 C dark brown sugar
3/4 C plain sugar
2 eggs
1 t vanilla extract
1 3/4 C All purpose flour
1 1/4 t baking powder
3/4 t salt
9 oz white chocolate chips
2 oz bourbon

Cream together the butter and sugars until incorporated, but the butter should still be chunky. Add eggs and vanilla, mix until combined, but with the butter still chunky. Mix in the dry ingredients and the white chocolate, then the bourbon. The only way you can fuck this recipe up is by over-mixing.
Line a 9"x13" baking pan with parchment paper and grease it. Pour the batter into the pan, lightly smush the batter out to the edges of the pan. This isn't too important, as it will spread when baking.
Bake in a 325 degree oven for 15 minutes, then turn the pan and bake for another 15 minutes. Allow to cool in pan for 5-10 minutes, then cut into squares. Gently remove from pan and let cool before eating.
