Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter and flour a 9 x 9 x 2-inch pan.
- Mix together the all-purpose flour, cake flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
- In a separate bowl, toss the brown sugar, sugar, egg, egg yolks, and vanilla until combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Fold in the milk chocolate chips and nuts, if using.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25 to 29 minutes, until golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow to cool before cutting into squares and serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a chewier texture, consider using light brown sugar instead of granulated sugar. If you want to enhance the flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or a handful of chopped nuts. You can also substitute half of the milk chocolate chips with butterscotch chips for an extra layer of flavor. Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep the blondies tender.
Serving Suggestions
These Chocolate Chip Butterscotch Blondies are delightful on their own but can be served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert. They also pair beautifully with coffee for a cozy afternoon treat. For an extra touch, drizzle with caramel sauce or serve alongside a fresh fruit salad.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. To reheat, place a blondie in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds, just until warm. This helps to revive their gooey texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of chocolate chips?
Absolutely! You can substitute milk chocolate chips with dark chocolate or white chocolate chips based on your preference. For a twist, try using peanut butter chips or even a mix of your favorites for a unique flavor combination.
Can I make these blondies gluten-free?
Yes, to make gluten-free blondies, use a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour blend in place of the all-purpose and cake flour. Ensure that all other ingredients, especially the baking powder, are also gluten-free.
How can I tell when the blondies are done baking?
The blondies are done when they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake, as they will continue to firm up as they cool.
