There’s a lot of confusion when it comes to blondies. Some people claim they are just vanilla brownies. Some say they are just plain cookie bars.
Personally, I think they are their own unique dessert. Made with brown sugar and vanilla, they have a very chewy texture. For today’s recipe, I added in Butterscotch morsels to accentuate the caramelized flavor in these delicious treats!
My big question is just like with a brownie, do you prefer the chewy corner or the gooey center?
How to make Butterscotch Blondies:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-inch square pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter with brown sugar. Add eggs and vanilla. Slowly add dry ingredients and fold in butterscotch chips.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, until golden brown. Cool completely before cutting.
FAQ about blondies:
- Q: What makes blondies chewy?
A: Much like a brownie, blondies are made with brown sugar which adds the chewy texture to them! - Q: Can you freeze blondies?
A: Absolutely! After baking and cooling, lift the blondies out of the pan with the parchment paper. You can then slide the whole blondie into a gallon sized ziploc bag. Or cut it into pieces first. - Q: Can I make blondies without butter and use margarine instead?
A: Well, yes, but I wouldn’t recommend it! I’m all for using generic or substitutions when possible…but the butter in a blondie gives it such a rich texture!

All centers for me! These look amazing — I am always just whelmed by thin blondies or brownies — if you can fold it in half, it’s a no go for me! Glad these are so thick!
Centers it is! I’m from Chicago so the same goes for tavern cut pizza (cut in squares not wedges). Grins madly! This looks awesome!!
As a fellow Chicagoan….I’m also a fan of squares….and I take the center. But with brownies and bars? I love that exterior piece 🙂
I would love to make this but I dont think we get Butterschotch morsels here?
You can get them on Amazon too 🙂 https://amzn.to/2uDsi8T
Love Blondies, but I am not a butterscotch fan, so will be swapping in semisweet or dark chocolate chips, I am always looking for a recipe that works in a 9 inch square pan. Thanks for that!
This looks amazing!!!! I want to bake it 😊 But we don’t have the butterscotch morsels… Can i leave it out? Or replace it?

I just made a brown sugar bundt cake and I have to say the caramelized flavor is amazing! So making these blondies, with that rich gooey center, my favorite part, is a must. They look super delicious and totally addictive!
I love the very center piece, and the chewier the better! These blondies look amazing!
