There’s something about Butterscotch Blondies that takes me straight back to cozy afternoons in my kitchen. These thick, chewy bars are my go-to when I want to bake something simple but satisfying. No fancy ingredients, just pure comfort.

Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line an 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper and lightly butter the paper.
2
In a large mixing bowl combine granulated and brown sugars with melted butter. Mix until everything is well combined and as smooth as you can get it.
3
Add vanilla and eggs. Mix for 1 minute. Sift in flour and baking powder, mix well.
4
Toss in one cup of butterscotch chips and mix until they are mixed thoroughly.
5
Place the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 25 minutes.
6
Use the toothpick test method to check for done-ness. You do not want to over bake these! When there are a few crumbs only clinging to the toothpick they are ready to come out of the oven.
7
Allow to cool. Remove from the baking dish and cut into 3” squares.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Brown Your Butter First 🧈Melt butter over medium heat until it turns golden brown with a nutty aroma before mixing into your batter—this amplifies the butterscotch flavor profile significantly.
- Don't Overmix After Adding Flour 🥄Fold in the flour gently just until combined to avoid developing gluten, which creates tough, dense blondies instead of the desired chewy texture.
- Toast Your Butterscotch Chips 🔆Lightly toast the butterscotch chips in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes before adding to batter to deepen their caramel notes and prevent them from sinking to the bottom.
- Use Brown Sugar Instead of All Granulated 🍯Replace at least half the granulated sugar with light brown sugar for extra moisture and molasses complexity that enhances the butterscotch character.
- Underbake Slightly for Chewiness ⏱️Remove blondies from the oven when a toothpick inserted in the center shows a few moist crumbs (not fully clean)—they'll continue cooking as they cool for perfect chewy centers.
