Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

1 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup butterscotch chips

1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare an 8x8-inch baking pan by greasing it lightly or lining it with parchment paper for easy removal after baking.

    Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter with the packed brown sugar and granulated sugar. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed until it becomes light and fluffy, which should take about 2-3 minutes.

      Incorporate Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs to the buttery mixture one at a time, ensuring to mix thoroughly after each addition. Follow this by pouring in the vanilla extract and blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

        Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful to mix only until everything is just combined. Do not overmix to keep the blondies chewy.

          Fold in Butterscotch Chips and Nuts: Using a spatula, gently fold in the butterscotch chips and the chopped pecans or walnuts (if included), ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

            Bake the Blondies: Pour the prepared batter into the greased or lined baking pan. Use a spatula to smooth the top for an even bake. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. The blondies should turn golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center will come out with a few moist crumbs, indicating they’re perfectly baked.

              Cool and Slice: After baking, remove the pan from the oven and allow the blondies to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes. Carefully lift the blondies out using the edges of the parchment paper, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing into squares.

                Serve and Indulge: Enjoy these delightful chewy butterscotch blondies on their own or elevate the experience by serving them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a scrumptious dessert!
