Butterscotch Blondies are a fun change from a traditional brownie with the addition of butterscotch chips.
Butterscotch Blondies is one of those family favorite recipes and one I shared back in the very early beginnings of my blog. And if you are looking for a non-chocolate bar cookie this recipe is perfect.
A blondie is similar to a brownie in texture, but a blondie has a caramel/butterscotch flavor. Traditionally blondies are made with brown butter which helps give them that butterscotch flavor. Today’s blondie gets the butterscotch flavor from the butterscotch chips.
Ingredients
- All Purpose Flour
- Granulated Sugar
- Light Brown Sugar
- Butter
- Eggs
- Baking Soda
- Salt
- Butterscotch Chips
- Nuts
How to Make Butterscotch Blondies
- Beat butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar in large bowl until creamy. These bars have more brown sugar than granulated sugar and that gives them an extra depth of flavor.
- Add eggs and beat well
- Stir together flour, baking soda and salt and gradually add to butter mixture, blending well Mix until the flour is just incorporated.
- Stir in butterscotch chips and nuts, if desired and spread into pan. You could also add in white chocolate chips or milk chocolate.
- Bake 30-35 minutes or until top is golden brown and center is set. Do not overbake. The bars should just begin to pull away from the sides of the pan.
- Cool completely in pan on wire rack before cutting into bars

I halved the recipe & baked it in a 12 cup bar pan & the came out hard as hockey pucks when I baked them. I baked them for 30 minutes. Should I have reduced the baking time?

Yes, if you reduce a recipe you will need to adjust the baking time.
