These Butterscotch Cashew Blondies are No Joke

I was going to use this request to try my butterscotch blondies recipe as an excuse to post a few blond jokes, but I decided that wouldn't be fair. Judging people's intelligence by hair color is just wrong... anybody could open a box of Cheerios and think it's donut seeds. Anyway, I hope some of you give this recipe a try and let me know what you think. Enjoy!

Butterscotch Cashew Blondies

Makes 9 bars

1/2 cup butter, melted

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup white granulated sugar

1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk, beaten together

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/8 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup butterscotch chips

1/4 cup milk chocolate chips

1/4 cup chopped dry-roasted cashews

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to a mixing bowl. Stir with a whisk to combine. Reserve.

In another large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugars until combined. Add the eggs and vanilla, and stir to combine. Switch to a wooden spoon and stir in the flour mixture. Fold in the butterscotch chips, chocolate chips, and cashews.

With a spatula, scrap the batter into a lightly greased 8 x 8-inch in pan or glass baking dish. Smooth to distribute evenly. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool before cutting into 9 bars.
