Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (170g) butterscotch chips
  • 1 cup (150g) toffee bits

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease the edges.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (226g) of unsalted butter, 1 cup (200g) of brown sugar, and 1/2 cup (100g) of granulated sugar using an electric mixer. Mix until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add 2 large eggs (room temperature) one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups (280g) of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix—this helps keep the bars tender.
  6. Fold in 1 cup (170g) of butterscotch chips and 1 cup (150g) of toffee bits. Make sure they are evenly distributed for that perfect bite!
  7. Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan using a spatula or your fingers.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cookie bars cool completely on a cooling rack before cutting them into squares.

Notes

[‘Always bring your butter and eggs to room temperature for a smoother batter.’, ‘Mix just until combined to avoid overworking the gluten and creating tough cookie bars.’, ‘Use parchment paper to make it easier to lift the bars out of the pan without breaking them.’, ‘Keep an eye on the bake time to avoid overbaking and drying out the bars.’, ‘Customize to taste by adding flaky sea salt on top or swapping butterscotch chips for chocolate chips.’]
