These irresistible butterscotch toffee cookie bars are the ultimate treat for gatherings, cozy nights, or when you’re simply craving a decadent dessert. The combination of buttery cookie dough, gooey butterscotch chips, and crunchy toffee is nothing short of magic.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) brown sugar
  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups (310g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips
  • ½ cup toffee bits

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup unsalted butter, 1 cup brown sugar, and ½ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes using a mixer).
  3. Add 2 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bars tender.
  6. Fold in 1 cup butterscotch chips and ½ cup toffee bits until evenly distributed.
  7. Spread the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan using a spatula. Smooth the top for even baking.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper. Cut into squares or rectangles and serve.

Notes

Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for smooth mixing. Avoid overmixing the dough to keep the bars tender. Start checking the bars at the 25-minute mark to prevent overbaking.
