Ingredients

• 0.75 cup unsalted butter
• 2 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 2 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1.5 cup butterscotch chips
• 0.75 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, remove from heat and whisk in the brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth. Let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time to the cooled butter and sugar mixture, whisking well after each addition to ensure they are fully incorporated.

Step 4

Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Fold in the butterscotch chips and nuts (if using) to evenly distribute them in the batter.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the bars are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.

Step 10

Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares. Serve and enjoy!
