Description
Butterscotch Toffee Cookie Bars are chewy dessert bars with a soft cookie base, sweet butterscotch chips, and crunchy toffee bits, perfect for parties or satisfying a sweet craving.
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 1 cup toffee bits (e.g., Heath bits)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until combined.
- Fold in the butterscotch chips and toffee bits evenly.
- Spread the dough into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bars cool completely before slicing into squares.
Notes
- Do not overbake to keep the bars moist and chewy.
- You can swap butterscotch chips for white chocolate chips or add nuts for variation.
- Bars can be made ahead and stored for up to 5 days or frozen for longer storage.
