Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Add-ins
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 1 cup toffee bits
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan to prevent sticking.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the melted butter and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until fully incorporated, ensuring a uniform batter.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agent and seasoning.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined to avoid overmixing which can cause toughness.
- Fold in Add-ins: Gently fold in the butterscotch chips and toffee bits to evenly distribute the sweet bursts of flavor throughout the dough.
- Spread Dough: Evenly spread the cookie dough into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top for an even bake.
- Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the edges turn lightly golden and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before slicing into bars and serving, to ensure clean cuts and proper texture.
Notes
- Ensure the melted butter is cooled slightly so it does not cook the eggs when mixed.
- Do not overmix the dough to keep the bars tender and chewy.
- You can substitute toffee bits with chopped pecans or walnuts for added crunch if preferred.
- Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
