Butterscotch Blondies

I felt like I haven't made a normal dessert in a while, so I found a recipe.  I also was craving something sweet.  This recipe is from the book: "1001 cupcakes, cookies & other tempting treats".  It makes 10 servings of blonde brownies.

Ingredients:
9 Tbsp butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup butterscotch chips
1/2 cup macadamia nuts, coarsely chopped (I left these out)
powdered sugar, for dusting

Directions:
1.  Preheat oven to 350F and grease a shallow 8x8in baking pan.
2.  Place butter and sugar in a large bowl and whisk together until pale and creamy.  Gradually whisk in eggs and vanilla extract.  Sift in flour and baking powder into mixture and beat together until well mixed.
3.  Add the butterscotch chips and nuts (if using) and stir until combined.
4.  Pour into pan and smooth.  Bake for about 35 minutes, or until risen and golden brown.  Let cool in pan, then dust with powdered sugar for decorating and cut into squares.  Enjoy!
