These chewy butterscotch walnut bars are a delightful twist on classic blondies, offering a rich and nutty flavor with a hint of butterscotch sweetness.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking pan.
Using parchment paper to line the pan can make removing the bars easier after baking.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy.
Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Add the eggs to the butter mixture one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Crack the eggs into a separate bowl first to avoid shell fragments.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Sifting the dry ingredients can help prevent lumps.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the bars tender.
Fold in the butterscotch chips and chopped walnuts.
Gently fold to evenly distribute the mix-ins without overmixing.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
Use a spatula to smooth the top for even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Rotate the pan halfway through baking for even cooking.
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
Cooling completely ensures clean cuts and prevents crumbling.
