Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened Adds moisture and richness for a chewy texture.
  • 2 cups brown sugar Offers deep caramel notes and contributes to the bars' chewy consistency.
  • 2 large eggs Helps bind the ingredients together for a luscious texture.
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract Enriches the overall flavor profile, enhancing the butterscotch.
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour The backbone of the recipe, providing structure to the bars.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder Helps the bars rise slightly for a soft texture.
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips Adds bursts of sweetness and a rich, buttery flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until well incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder before gradually adding the dry ingredients to the wet mixture.
  5. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Fold in the butterscotch chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even bake.
  8. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
