Butterscotch Blondies

For these classic bar cookies, we wanted just enough salt to heighten the flavor, so we opted for unsalted butter. Browning the butter deepens its flavor and, when combined with brown sugar, creates the butterscotch taste. Store unrefrigerated in an airtight container up to three days, or freeze for three months.

Nutrition Tip: Packing a pre-portioned, lightened sweet treat in your lunchbox could save you some calories in the long run. Rather than running to the vending machine or giving in to that plate of cookies in the break room, count on your homemade treat to satisfy your cravings. At less than 200 calories, these blondies are probably a better choice, and they taste better, too.
