Butterscotch Blondies

Chewy homemade blondies with butterscotch chips. These Butterscotch Blondies are the BEST, especially served with ice cream and an easy homemade butterscotch sauce.

If I’m having a sweet tooth on the weekend I usually turn to some sort of brownies/bars or cookies. They’re the fastest to make and always super tempting. Some of my favorite easy cookie bar recipes include:

Best Ever Peanut Butter Bars

Smore Cookie Bars

Oreo Magic Bars

Triple Chip Blondies

Toffee Chocolate Chip Bars

I can’t say enough great things about these butterscotch blondies. They are soft, thick and chewy with the perfect butterscotch sweetness. They taste great as they are, or you can add a scoop of vanilla ice cream with an easy homemade butterscotch sauce. SOO GOOD!

Butterscotch Blondies

Author: Lauren Allen

Ingredients

• ½ cup salted butter softened
• ½ cup sugar
• ½ cup light brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup flour
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ½ cup butterscotch chips
• Optional Serve with Ice Cream and Butterscotch Sauce
• Butterscotch Sauce:
• ½ cup salted butter at room temperature
• 1 cup dark brown sugar
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 3 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Add the butter, sugar and brown sugar to a mixing bowl and cream together until very smooth. Add egg and vanilla and mix well.
3. Add flour and baking powder and stir until combined. Fold in butterscotch chips (keep a small handful to sprinkle on top).
4. Spread into a greased square (8 or 9 inch) baking pan and bake for 38-34 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool for at least 20 minutes before cutting into bars.

For the Butterscotch Sauce:

1. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the sugar, cream and salt and stir well with a wooden spoon until blended. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat and boil for about 5 minutes, stirring often.
2. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. The sauce will thicken as it cools. Serve warm over ice cream.
3. To store, refrigerate sauce in an air-tight container.
