Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 2 Large eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Butterscotch chips
- 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once fully melted, remove from heat and whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until smooth.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then whisk in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
In a separate mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the butterscotch chips and semi-sweet chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 23-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Remove from the oven and let the squares cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the dessert out of the pan. Cut into 16 squares and serve.
