Instructions
0 Preheat oven to 350ºF. While preheating, be sure to read tips & tricks in post above for recipe success. 1 Warm the unsalted butter [adjustable](1 cup, i.e. 2 sticks)[/adjustable] in a microwave-safe bowl or saucepan until it’s just melted. 2 In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsalted butter with the light brown sugar [adjustable](1 cup) and granulated sugar (1 cup)[/adjustable]. Stir until combined. (I recommend mixing this by hand rather than a mixer.) 3 Stir in the eggs [adjustable](2 large) and vanilla extract (1 tablespoon), followed by the baking powder (1 teaspoon) and salt (1 ½ teaspoons)[/adjustable]. 4 Mix in cornstarch [adjustable](1 tablespoon) and all-purpose flour (2 ½ cups), followed by the butterscotch chips (1 cup)[/adjustable]. Mix the dough until well-combined. 5 Generously grease a metal 9x13 pan. If you plan to remove the bars from the pan, I also recommend lining the bottom with parchment paper. 6 Spread dough into an even layer in pan. Sprinkle on some extra butterscotch chips for added presentation. Bake for 26-28 minutes, or until edges are slightly golden brown and then center no longer looks wet (they will look a tad underbaked, as this is the key to a soft, gooey bar). 7 Cut into 12-24 bars (I like to cut them big) and enjoy! Store in an airtight container for 3-4 days.View original recipe
