Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 1 cup toffee bits
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In another large bowl, beat the softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the butterscotch chips and toffee bits until evenly distributed.
- Spread the dough evenly in the prepared baking pan to create your butterscotch toffee cookie bars.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the butterscotch toffee cookie bars cool in the pan before cutting into squares or rectangles.
Notes
- For extra crunch, add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts.
- Mix in chocolate chips for a chocolate butterscotch toffee bar variation.
- Top with caramel drizzle or sea salt after baking for a festive touch.
- If using salted butter, slightly reduce the added salt in the recipe.
- For gluten-free butterscotch toffee cookie bars, use a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour with xanthan gum.
