Why You’ll Love This Recipe!

This Butterscotch Blondie recipe is one of those family favorite recipes and one I shared back in the very early beginnings of my blog. If you are looking for a non-chocolate bar cookie this recipe is perfect. Blondie shave a nice chewy center, just like a good brownie.

Traditionally blondies are made with brown butter which helps give them that butterscotch flavor. Today’s blondie also gets the butterscotch flavor from the butterscotch chips.

Butterscotch Blondies

Ingredients

  • All Purpose Flour
  • Granulated Sugar
  • Light Brown Sugar
  • Butter
  • Eggs
  • Baking Soda
  • Salt
  • Vanilla Extract
  • Butterscotch Chips
  • Nuts
Butterscotch Blondies

How to Make Butterscotch Blondies

  • Prepare a 9 x 13 pan by spraying with non stick cooking spray or line with parchment paper.
  • 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 vanilla extract 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 batter into lightly greased 9 x 13 inch pan.

  • 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

Tips and Tricks

  • Instead of butterscotch morsels add in white chocolate chips.
  • You can also replace the chips with chopped pecans or walnuts.
  • Instead of light brown sugar you can use dark brown sugar for a more intense flavor.
  • I love to serve them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top Drizzle the ice cream with some caramel sauce or butterscotch sauce.
  • You can rewarm leftover blondies in the microwave for a few seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best way to store leftover blondies?

Blondies are best stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days.
Freezer: Wrap the blondies airtight in a layer of plastic wrap and then foil and store in the freezer for up to two months. Be sure they are cooled completely before freezing.


How do I know when the blondies are done?

The blondie is done when it begins to pull away from the sides of the pan. A toothpick will come out clean. Be sure not to overbake as this will dry them out and they won’t be as soft and chewy.
