BLONDIE CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a standard 12-cup (each 2 1/2 inches wide) muffin pan; set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
• With an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat until combined. Add flour mixture, and beat just until combined (do not overmix). Fold in chopped toffee.
• Divide batter among prepared cups, filling each about halfway. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean, 18 to 22 minutes.
• Transfer to wire rack; cool 10 minutes in pan. Turn out blondies onto rack; cool completely, top side up.

BUTTERSCOTCH BLONDIES

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Add 2 rectangular sheets of parchment to an 8-inch square baking pan in a crisscross fashion, leaving a 1-inch overhang on all sides once fitted in the pan. Set aside.
• Cook the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Swirl as the butter melts so that it browns evenly. It will foam, then turn golden and finally turn a toasty brown, about 6 minutes. Once the aroma is nutty, remove it from the heat and pour into a large heatproof glass bowl. (You should have about 6 tablespoons of browned butter.)
• Whisk to combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.
• Whisk the brown sugar into the browned butter until combined. Whisk in the egg and vanilla extract. Use a wooden spoon or rubber spatula to fold in the flour mixture until just combined. Then fold in the pecans, white chocolate chips and dried cranberries.
• Spread the batter into the prepared pan in an even layer. Bake until set and firm when touched and the top is glossy and crackled, 20 to 24 minutes. Let cool to room temperature on a wire rack.
• Lift the blondie out of the pan using the parchment handles and cut into 9 squares. Drizzle lightly with butterscotch sauce and sprinkle with flaky sea salt, if using. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
