Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the bars.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips. The dough will be thick.
Spread the dough evenly into the prepared baking dish using a spatula or your hands.
Sprinkle the butterscotch chips evenly over the top of the dough, slightly pressing them into the surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
