No authentic recipe for the blond brownies from the Pizitz department store bakery 
has been publicly released, but many loyal fans claim that copycat recipes featuring 
brown sugar, vanilla, and butterscotch chips come very close to the original. 
A popular recipe often shared online uses butterscotch morsels, with some bakers 
adding nuts for extra flavor.
This version, adapted from a 1960s-era recipe, is a favorite among those trying to 
replicate the nostalgic Pizitz taste.

Pizitz-style blond brownies

Yields: 24 bars
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 30–35 minutes

Ingredients

 2/3 cup butter, softened
 2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
 2 eggs, slightly beaten
 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
 2 cups all-purpose flour
 1 teaspoon baking powder
 1 teaspoon baking soda
 1 (7-ounce) bag butterscotch morsels
 1/3 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat and prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a
   13x9x2-inch baking pan.
2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and
   brown sugar until the mixture is smooth. Add the slightly beaten
   eggs and vanilla extract, and mix thoroughly.
3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the
   flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
4. Combine wet and dry: Add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet
   mixture and stir until well combined. Stir in the butterscotch
   morsels and chopped nuts, if using.
5. Bake: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for
   30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes
   out clean.
6. Cool and serve: Allow the blondies to cool slightly before cutting
   into bars. For best results, let them cool completely in the pan
   before cutting for clean slices.
