Ingredients :

1/4 c. of butter
1 c. of brown sugar (I used light brown sugar instead of dark brown sugar)
1 egg
1/2 c. of sliced almonds
3/4 c. of all-purpose flour
1 tsp. of baking powder
1/2 tsp. of salt
1/2 tsp. of almond extract
1 c. of semi-sweet chocolate morsels

Baking procedure :

Melt the butter in a pan. Pour into a mixing bowl. Stir in the sugar. Allow to cool.

Mix together the flour, baking powder and salt.

Add the egg to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until well incorporated. Add the flour mixture and mix well. Add the almond extract and sliced almonds and mix until well blended. The batter will be heavy.

Transfer to a greased 6″ x 6″ baking pan. Spread evenly, using a spatula. Bake in a 180oC oven for 25 minutes.

As soon as the baking pan comes out of the oven, sprinkle the chocolate morsels over the cooked cookie. Wait a minute or two until the chocolate morsels soften from the heat of the cookie. With a spatula, spread the chocolate evenly over the entire surface. Cool completely before cutting into 2″ x 2″ squares.

    Wow, Dexie, captive market! I ought to give that a serious thought. Need more practice though. :razz:

    Hahaha, hindi ko nakalimutan pero di ko type. I had been longing for that kind of frosting which is soft and tasty. What I made looks semilar to chocolate glaze…tumigas eh :sad:

    [...] The recipe for butterscotch brownies is from my sister-in-law, Susan. It is the same basic recipe that I used for making my chocolate and almond cookie squares a few weeks ago which looked kinda pale because I used light brown sugar instead of the required dark brown sugar. I used dark brown sugar this time (a quick trip to the supermarket took care of that). For a decidedly Filipino twist, I mixed in half a cup of chopped pili nuts to this batch of butterscotch brownies. And, for added delicious decadence, I stirred in some chocolate morsels as well.

    Hi Connie,

    Is the chocolate morsels similar to choc bits that you put in choc chip cookies?

    Thanks, Gina
