Butterscotch Blondies are a fun change from a traditional brownie with the addition of butterscotch chips.

Today’s recipe is one of those family favorite recipes and one I shared back in the very early beginnings of my blog.

When I made the Butterscotch Blondies this week I realized it may have been the first time I actually ever made them.  You see, Tessa has always been the Butterscotch Blondie maker in our house.  She learned how to make them in a cooking class I sent her too. 

Butterscotch Blondies

I have learned that one of the easiest ways to teach your children a skill is to pay someone else to do it!

I spent years teaching other woman’s daughters to sew, most of these women were seamstresses themselves.

So when Tessa was about 10 or so I sent her to a summer baking class. Someone else needed to teach her to bake and now she is as good a baker as I am.

Bar Cookies

One of our favorite cookies she learned to make that summer, that we have made over and over again, is Butterscotch Blondies.  It is a bar cookie so it is a perfect cookie for the summer since it’s so quick and easy.

So if you are looking for a non-chocolate bar cookie this recipe is perfect.

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

How is A Blondie Different Than A Brownie?

A brownie has intense chocolate flavor and a blondie has more 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.

    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.
