How do you make blondies?
Blondies are made in a similar fashion as brownies. Except, instead of chocolate you are going to use a mix of sugars. It's the brown sugar that gives blondies that sweet, chewy texture.
Beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then add the eggs and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl you'll combine the dry ingredients, a simple mixture of flour, baking soda and salt. Beat the mixture until combined and then mix in your walnuts and butterscotch chips. Then pour your batter into the prepared pan and bake.
What is the secret to chewy blondies?
The secret to a chewy blondie is to use the right amount of brown sugar. The molasses in the brown sugar provides the "chew" and also not to add too much flour. The recipe below will provide the best ratios for each.
What pan should I use to bake blondies?
The real game changer for making blondies with tight corners and clean edges is a removable bottom brownie tin. It will give you the best corners and clean cuts for equal sized squares. But really any 9 x 9 brownie pan will work. (this link goes to Amazon where I am compensated on products sold at no additional cost to the consumer)
Who knew such a contraption existed?! I actually think it's probably a cake pan, but it really works well for any type of bars too! Hey multi-purpose bakeware is what I'm all about 🙂
Can you make blondies ahead of time?
If you make these blondies a few hours ahead or even a day ahead, the texture gets even chewier and better!

Notes
These are so much easier to release and cut if you make them in a removable bottom brownie pan!
These are even better when made a day ahead because the texture gets firmer and the blondies get chewier

Sure you could do that 🙂

Hello, where I live aí can't find butterscotch chips. What could I use instead? Could I make my own butterscotch?
Love your work.
Thank you
entertainingwithbeth says
Hmmm maybe you could use some toffee chips like those heath bar chips or skor chips i think they are also called? But really these will still be good without them so no worries if you can't find them. So glad you enjoy the recipes! Thx for the support!
Reena says
What if I used a 8x8 pan instead? How long would I have to cook or would I have to change the temperature too.
entertainingwithbeth says
Oh sure about 10 mins more, no need to change the temperature. Enjoy!
Reena says
I only have an 8x8 pan. How much longer do I cook the blondies for? Or do I also change the temperature too?

Hi Beth,
First of all, I really have enjoyed the few videos of yours that I have viewed. I am hosting a party this Saturday and am planning to make your butterscotch blondies recipe as one of my desserts. While I love fresh baked goods, in the interest of time it would be nice to make these ahead of time. Can I make them today or tomorrow and have them still be fresh for Saturday? Do they freeze well?
Many Thanks,
Kitty Houser
entertainingwithbeth says
Oh sure. Best thing to do would be to bake them. Allow to cool completely. Then cover and place in the fridge until day of the party. Then 1 hour before serving, remove from the fridge and allow to get to room temperature. This will bring out the flavor and soften the texture 🙂 Hope this helps! And so glad you have enjoyed the videos! Good luck at the party! 🙂

Hi, is it okay if i melt the 1/4 cup of butterscotch chips so as to spread the buttercotch flavor throughout the brownie batter. Or will it spread on its own? Thank you!!
entertainingwithbeth says
Oh now that's a great idea! Yes totally fine to do that. In fact that might even give a more uniform butterscotch flavor 🙂 Go for it! (keep me posted on the results!)
