What Is A Blondie?
Blondies, also known as blonde brownies, are rich dessert bars that are made with brown sugar to give them that extra sweetness. There is no chocolate to be found in a blondie bar, but other ingredients like the butterscotch chips I added to this recipe are commonly added. In fact, blondies may have come before chocolate brownies since Fanny Farmer made ‘brownies’ without any chocolate back in 1896!

How to Make Blondies
This batter is made up of melted butter, a fair amount of brown sugar, and much less flour than normal which is great for a soft and chewy blondie. But the addition of the butterscotch chips really puts them over-the-top. You can, of course, use milk chocolate chips or white chocolate chips if you prefer, or even do a half and half combination of your favorite chips.
First, combine the melted butter and brown sugar in a large bowl. Stir well before adding the eggs and egg yolk, one at a time, mixing it all together. Next, add the vanilla.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch (the ingredient that helps the bars from getting too dry), baking powder, and salt. Stir the dry mixture into the butter and egg mixture until completely combined.
If the batter is getting too thick, you can always use a hand mixer. Finally, gently fold in the butterscotch chips. Spread the batter into the 9×9-inch pan and bake for 35-40 minutes. If you are using a 9×13-inch pan, you will bake the bars for 25-30 minutes. Let them cool before cutting them.

How to Cut Blondies
Since these bars are a lot sweeter than a chocolate brownie, I recommend cutting your pieces a bit smaller than you might usually want to (or don’t…it’s entirely up to you)! If you want to make these blondies without the butterscotch chips you will then have a more “traditional” or “standard” blondie recipe.
