Ingredients
Scale:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup butterscotch chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix well until the sugars are dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips and butterscotch chips, ensuring an even distribution throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
Once baked, remove from the oven and let the bars cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into squares.
