Butterscotch-Pecan Blondies
- 1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for the dish
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup butterscotch chips or toffee pieces
- 3/4 cup chopped pecans
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with foil, leaving an overhang on 2 sides.
- Butter the foil.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
- Beat the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Add the vanilla and beat until combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition.
- Reduce the mixer speed to low; beat in the flour mixture until just combined.
- Fold in 1/2 cup each butterscotch chips and pecans.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared dish and press with your fingers into an even layer.
- Bake until the dough starts setting, about 15 minutes, then sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup each butterscotch chips and pecans.
- Continue baking until puffed and golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 more minutes.
- Transfer to a rack and let cool completely.
- Lift out of the pan, peel off the foil and cut into pieces.
