Chock Full Blondie Squares Recipes

BUTTERSCOTCH BLONDIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees and butter and line a 9-by-9-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
• Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook butter, occasionally scraping the bottom and sides of the pan with a rubber spatula, until it turns deep golden brown and smells nutty. Don't walk away from the pan during this process. The butter can go from brown and nutty to acrid and burnt in mere moments. Transfer the butter and all the brown bits from the pan to a large heat-safe bowl to cool slightly.
• When the butter is cool (but still melted), add sugar, vanilla extract and salt. Whisk until smooth. Add the eggs and mix until well combined.
• Fold in the flour and baking powder along with any mix-ins until well combined and no streaks of flour remain in the batter.
• Pour batter into prepared pan, smooth the top, and sprinkle with flaky salt, if desired. Bake the blondies until set and slightly puffy, 20 to 27 minutes. For gooey blondies, err on the short side of the baking time. Cool before slicing.
