Bourbon Brown Butter Blondies Recipes

BROWN BUTTER BOURBON BUTTER PECAN BLONDIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Spray parchment, and any exposed pan, lightly with non-stick spray, set aside.
• In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter until browned (see post for more on this if needed).
• Remove from heat and cool for a few minutes, then scrape the butter into a large heat proof mixing bowl.
• Whisk in the brown sugar and mix until well combined. Stir in the bourbon and vanilla. Then add in the egg and egg yolk, beating until combined.
• Using a rubber spatula, fold in the flour, cinnamon, and salt, mixing until just combined. Finally, fold in the pecans and chocolate. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake for 24 minutes, or until the edges are firm and golden and the center is just slightly wobbly.
• Cool in pan for at least 1 hour before cutting. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt before serving, if desired.

BUTTERSCOTCH-BOURBON BLONDIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and spray a 9-inch square baking pan with cooking spray or butter it generously. For ease, I recommend lining the pan with parchment paper and spraying that, too.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder and salt.
• In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and 1/4 cup of the butterscotch chips until the mixture is smooth. Transfer it to the bowl of a stand mixer.
• Beat the brown sugar into the butter mixture, then the egg. Add the vanilla and bourbon and beat until combined. Add the flour mixture and beat until incorporated. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup butterscotch chips.
• Spread the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with not too much stuck to it. Let cool before cutting. Find this recipes and more in Duff Bakes: Think and Bake Like a Pro at Home ($27.50, William Morrow).
