Butterscotch Bars

This brown sugar brownie (also known as a “Blondie”) is nutty and chewy. We used walnuts, but any chopped nut will work

Ingredients (Makes 4 dozen)

1 cup unsalted butter
4 cups brown sugar
4 eggs
4 tbsp vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup unsweetened, shredded coconut

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line an 11- x 17-inch sheet pan with parchment paper. Tip: Put a dab of butter in each corner of pan to stick paper down and keep it in place.
  2. In an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar together. Add in eggs one by one and then vanilla.
  3. Sift together dry ingredients and add to butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Mix in nuts and coconut.
  4. Spread batter out in pan as evenly as possible. Bake for 15 minutes, rotate 180 degrees and continue baking for another 15 minutes. Do not over bake.
  5. Cool in pan and then cut into bars or squares.
