butterscotch blondies

I’ve got a fun recipe redo for you today.  I was craving these Butterscotch Blondies this week and realized it had been way too long since we had them.

One problem with being a food blogger is that you are constantly trying out new recipes.  I know, what a problem to have!  But the problem is you just don’t get a chance to make those old family favorites very often.  Today’s recipe is one of those family favorites 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.  Yes, I sent my children to cooking class!

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.

There are some children that are just better taught by someone other than their mother!  My youngest daughter Tessa,  is one of them.   It only took me a few hair pulling, screaming matches to figure it out!  (That was me pulling out my own hair not hers and both of us raising our voices a bit!)

So when Tessa was about 10 or so I sent her to a summer baking class. Someone else needed to teach her to bake.

Butterscotch Blondies

She loved the class and now is she is as good a baker as I am.

Each day, in class, they would make a new type of cookie and bring home the recipe and samples.  The samples were always in some type of cute packaging.  The teacher believed in one of my life lessons – “It’s all in the presentation!”

Some were almost too cute to eat, although we never let that stop us.

The one cookie she made 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 – quick and easy.

Butterscotch Blondies

Although we have enjoyed these cookies many, many times I have never actually made them until this week.  Tessa is the official Butterscotch Blondie baker at our house – no one else is allowed except of course when Tessa is away at college or working like she was this week!

Butterscotch Blondies

So if you are looking for a non-chocolate bar cookie this recipe is perfect.  Hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

    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.
