Ingredients
1 ¼ cups unsalted butter (plus more for pan)
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
1 cup packed light brown sugar
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 ¼ cups butterscotch chips
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter a 9×13-inch baking pan. Line bottom with parchment paper and butter the parchment. Set aside.
In a saucepan over medium heat, cook butter, stirring constantly until it turns golden brown and develops a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a large mixing bowl (or electric mixer), combine browned butter and both sugars. Beat until smooth.
Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla extract. Beat on medium-high speed until well combined.
Gradually add flour mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
Fold in butterscotch chips.
Transfer batter to prepared pan and press into an even layer.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Do not overbake.
Cool completely on a wire rack before removing from pan.
Peel off parchment and cut into 12 squares.
Notes
Browning the butter enhances the caramel flavor—watch carefully to avoid burning.
For extra texture, add chopped pecans or walnuts.
Slightly underbaking ensures soft, chewy centers.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
Blondies freeze well for up to 2 months.
