How to Make Butterscotch Blondies

Ingredients:

For the Blondies:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup toasted pecans, chopped

For the Brown Sugar Frosting:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth. Add in the eggs and vanilla, mixing until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Fold in the toasted pecans.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
5. While the blondies are baking, prepare the brown sugar frosting. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter and brown sugar, stirring until melted and bubbling. Remove from heat and stir in the heavy cream.
6. Allow the mixture to cool for a few minutes, then gradually mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth.
7. Once the blondies have cooled, spread the brown sugar frosting evenly over the top. Cut into squares and enjoy!
