Butterscotch Banana Blondies

Teresa Ambra
We loved Butterscotch Banana Blondies. This is one of the best cookie recipes you'll ever eat. Each bite is filled with loads of butterscotch morsels. Plus, it's a great way to use up overripe bananas. The browned butter icing is irresistible. This lovely dessert is awesome for tailgating parties, potlucks and even for holiday desserts. You'll be drooling after the first taste of these amazing goodies.
