• Betty Crocker suggests cutting these while still warm. I think they actually cut cleaner when completely cooled. Not that I waited until they were cooled to eat one. No patience! Makes 16 bars.

BUTTERSCOTCH BROWNIES AKA BLONDIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 13x9-inch baking pan, or spray with nonstick spray.
• In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from the heat, add the brown sugar, and stir until blended. Let cool for at least 5 minutes. Add the vanilla, then add the eggs, one at a time, and stir to mix quickly until well combined, so the eggs don't cook in the still slightly warm brown sugar mixture.
• In a small bowl combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to the saucepan and stir until combined. Stir in the nuts or chips, if using, and spread into the prepared pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake until a wooden skewer or a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, 24 to 28 minutes.
• Cool them in the pan on a wire rack. When cool, cut into 24 squares.

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.

SALTED BUTTERSCOTCH BLONDIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on all sides; butter the foil. Combine 2 tablespoons butter, 1/4 cup brown sugar and the heavy cream in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally; continue to cook, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the scotch and 1 teaspoon vanilla; set aside to cool.
• Melt the remaining 2 sticks butter in a large saucepan; let cool slightly. Stir in the remaining 1 1/2 cups brown sugar, the eggs and the remaining 2 teaspoons vanilla, then stir in the flour, baking soda and fine salt.
• Spread the batter in the prepared pan and pour the butterscotch sauce on top. Gently swirl the sauce into the batter using a knife. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and let cool completely in the pan. Lift the blondies out of the pan using the foil overhang. Cut into pieces.

BUTTERSCOTCH-BOURBON BLONDIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and spray a 9-inch square baking pan with cooking spray or butter it generously. For ease, I recommend lining the pan with parchment paper and spraying that, too.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder and salt.
• In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and 1/4 cup of the butterscotch chips until the mixture is smooth. Transfer it to the bowl of a stand mixer.
• Beat the brown sugar into the butter mixture, then the egg. Add the vanilla and bourbon and beat until combined. Add the flour mixture and beat until incorporated. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup butterscotch chips.
• Spread the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with not too much stuck to it. Let cool before cutting. Find this recipes and more in Duff Bakes: Think and Bake Like a Pro at Home ($27.50, William Morrow).
