Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup brown sugar Packed
  • 1 cup flour Accurately measured
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butter Melted but not hot
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups butterscotch chips

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line a baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together brown sugar and melted butter until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the mixture, and mix well to combine.
Mixing
  1. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt.
  2. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until combined.
  3. Fold in the butterscotch chips.
Baking
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
  2. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  3. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then lift out and cool completely on a wire rack.
Serving
  1. Once cooled, cut into squares or rectangles.

Notes

For best results, use melted butter that isn't hot to avoid cooking the eggs. Measure flour accurately. Optionally, add chopped walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.
