Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter
  • 1 ½ cups (300g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (175g) butterscotch chips

Instructions

  1. Brown the butter: Place 1 cup (227g) of unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly with a heatproof spatula or wooden spoon until the butter foams, turns golden brown with fragrant nutty aromas, and small brown flecks appear. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the light brown sugar (1 ½ cups / 300g) and the browned butter until smooth. Add 2 large eggs one at a time, whisking after each addition. Stir in 2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  4. Fold dry into wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Add butterscotch chips: Fold in 1 cup (175g) of butterscotch chips evenly throughout the batter.
  6. Prepare baking pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  7. Bake: Pour batter into the pan, spreading evenly. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 22-25 minutes until edges are golden and set but the center is slightly soft.
  8. Cool completely: Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let the blondies cool fully before slicing.

Notes

Use a light-colored pan for browning butter to monitor color changes. Stir continuously to avoid burning. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep blondies tender and chewy. Check baking at 20 minutes if your oven runs hot. Let blondies cool completely before cutting for clean slices. Parchment paper helps with easy removal and cleanup.
