Ingredients

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar, 12 ounces
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• pinch of salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour, 6.5 ounces
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup butterscotch chips

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9×13 inch pan with cooking spray, or line with parchment paper. Set aside.

In a medium bowl or saucepan, melt butter in the microwave or on the stove. When butter is melted, add brown sugar and whisk until smooth. Bonus–you can use the same bowl or saucepan! Just move the saucepan off the heat.

One at a time, add in the eggs and stir until incorporated. Then add the vanilla, salt, and baking powder and stir to combine. Add flour and stir until almost combined, then fold in chocolate chips and butterscotch chips.

Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Do not overbake! The bars are done when the tops are set and a little shiny, golden brown in color, and pulling away from the side of the pan. Cool completely [or most of the way] before cutting into bars if you want them to look pretty. Otherwise, they can be cut pretty soon; they just might be messy. Enjoy!
