Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 0.5 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over low heat, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat once fully melted and allow it to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until well combined and smooth.
Add the vanilla extract and the eggs to the bowl with the sugar mixture. Stir until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until no streaks of flour remain.
Gently stir in the butterscotch chips and chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the dish from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares or rectangles.
Serve and enjoy your rich and gooey Scotch Bars!
