These Butterscotch Blondies are one of those desserts that taste like they took way more effort than they actually did. They’re soft, chewy, buttery, and packed with sweet butterscotch flavor in every bite. I made these the first time because I had a random bag of butterscotch chips sitting in the pantry, and now they’ve become one of those recipes I keep going back to whenever I want something easy and homemade.

The texture is probably my favorite part. The centers stay soft and slightly gooey while the edges turn lightly golden. They also taste really good warm straight from the pan, especially if you add vanilla ice cream on top.

Another thing I love about these blondies is how simple the recipe is. Everything comes together quickly with basic ingredients, and there’s no complicated mixing or chilling involved.

Why You Will Love This Butterscotch Blondies Recipe

These Butterscotch Blondies are soft, chewy, and full of rich buttery flavor.

The butterscotch chips melt into the blondies while baking, which gives little pockets of sweetness throughout every bite.

They’re also really easy to make and only need one bowl and a few pantry ingredients.

These blondies work well for parties, bake sales, snacks, or simple desserts when you want something quick without making cookies from scratch.

They also taste amazing warm with vanilla ice cream if you want to make them feel a little extra.

What You Will Need

An 8×8 baking dish works best for thick blondies with soft centers.

A mixing bowl and spoon are enough for mixing the batter.

Parchment paper helps make removing and slicing the blondies easier.

Ingredients

• ½ cup salted butter, softened
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup light brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ½ cup butterscotch chips

How to Make Butterscotch Blondies

Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease or line an 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.

Add the egg and vanilla extract, then mix until combined.

Stir in the flour and baking powder until a soft batter forms.

Fold in the butterscotch chips, saving a small handful for the top.

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the remaining chips over the top.

Bake for about 25 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick comes out mostly clean.

Let the blondies cool slightly before slicing.

Tips

Do not overbake the blondies because they continue setting as they cool.

If you like extra texture, chopped pecans or walnuts work really well in this recipe.

These blondies taste especially good slightly warm because the butterscotch chips stay soft and melty.

For cleaner slices, let them cool before cutting.

A scoop of vanilla ice cream on top turns these into a really good dessert.
