Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 2 cups Light brown sugar
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 4 whole Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 cups Butterscotch chips
• 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional, such as pecans or walnuts)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the light brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth and well combined. Let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 3

Once the mixture has cooled, whisk in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.

Step 5

Gently fold in the butterscotch chips and, if using, the chopped nuts.

Step 6

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (but not wet batter).

Step 8

Remove the pan from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into squares or rectangles.

Step 9

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
