Ingredients
- 1 cup butter room temperature
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 2/3 cup light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups butterscotch chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Lightly spray a 9" x 13" baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, cream together the room temperature butter, sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer, or in the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment. Beat until light and fluffy, or about 2 minutes. Slowly add the eggs and vanilla, mixing on low to combine.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking soda and flour, and add into the butter mixture, mixing on low just until combined.
- Spread batter into your prepared baking pan, then sprinkle the butterscotch chips evenly over the top.
- Bake in a preheated oven for about 5 minutes, then remove from the oven and use an offset spatula or butter knife to swirl the butterscotch in a circular pattern through the batter.
- Return the cookie bars to the oven and bake an additional 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are just slightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely before cutting into bars . Enjoy!
