Butterscotch Blondie Recipe For Sona aka Cookie Marie

Happy Friday to All....

Today I'm going to post a recipe for Butterscotch Blondie Bars for my friend Sona (aka Cookie Marie!). I made them yesterday and they are really QUITE tasty.... I'm thinking these babies served warm with some cinnamon or vanilla bean ice cream would be something else. All by themselves they are simple, crumby and sublime.
I thought I would share this recipe with you all so you can enjoy them for yourself. Very easy to make and bake. Even easier to eat....

Butterscotch Blondie Bars (From CL)

2 Cups All Purpose Flour
2 1/2 Cups Packed Light Brown Sugar
2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
1/2 Teaspoon Sea Salt
1 Stick and 2 Tablespoons (10 total) Unsalted Butter
4 Large Eggs Beaten (or 3/4 cup egg substitute)

METHOD
Preheat Oven to 350 degrees
Sift flour, baking powder and sea salt into a large bowl. Add Brown Sugar. Set Aside.
Put butter into small sauce pan or skillet and heat on medium heat, stirring occasionally until butter is lightly browned. Remove from heat and allow to cool 10 minutes. (Be careful not to overbrown or burn the butter, but it needs to be browned or you won't have the butterscotch flavor!) Break eggs into small bowl and whisk. Add cooled butter and whisk until well combined. Pour the butter/egg mixture over the dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. (Don't overmix or they'll be tough. Nothing worse than a tough cookie!) Spread batter into a greased or cooking sprayed 13 by 9 inch baking dish. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and toothpick in center comes out clean. Cool, cut and keep in airtight container or freeze.

Bon Apetit!

These bars are perfectly delicious and I don't even like blondes.
