These Butterscotch Toffee Cookie Bars combine gooey, chewy goodness with a buttery crunch, making them the ultimate dessert squares.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips
  • 1 cup toffee bits
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy lifting.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla extract. Whisk again until fully incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently with a spatula until no streaks remain. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in butterscotch chips and toffee bits. If adding nuts, fold in chopped pecans or walnuts.
  7. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with your spatula.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the bars cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then use the parchment paper to lift them out onto a cooling rack. Allow them to cool completely before slicing into squares.

Notes

[‘Don’t overmix the batter to keep the bars tender.’, ‘Pull them out earlier for gooey bars or leave them in longer for a firmer texture.’, ‘Line the pan with parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.’, ‘Let the bars cool completely before slicing for clean edges.’, ‘Experiment with toppings like sea salt or melted chocolate for added flavor.’]
