🥘 Ingredients

9 items

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 2 cups light brown sugar
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup heavy cream
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup butterscotch chips

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, stir in the light brown sugar and granulated sugar, cooking until the mixture is smooth and begins to bubble slightly, about 2-3 minutes.

3. Remove the pot from the heat and whisk in the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Let the mixture cool slightly while you prepare the dry ingredients.

4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir the cooled butterscotch mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined.

5. Gently fold in the butterscotch chips to evenly distribute throughout the batter.

6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the center is set. A toothpick inserted should come out with a few moist crumbs.

8. Allow the butterscotch treats to cool completely in the baking dish before slicing into squares or bars.

9. Serve and enjoy your rich, chewy butterscotch treats!
