It was a rainy saturday so I decided to make Butterscotch Bars for our snack .... it's a simple recipe but its chewy and yummy! Try it! :)
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons sifted baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
3/4 cup butter
1/2 cup granulated white sugar
2 cups dark brown sugar
3 whole eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
raisins and nuts (optional)
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8 by 12 inches rectangular baking pan, 2 1/2 inches high, with aluminum foil. Set aside.
2. In a bowl, combine the flour, the baking powder and the fine salt. Set aside.
3. In another bowl, using an electric mixer, cream the butter until light and fluffy. Add the white and brown sugar and beat until blended. Add the eggs and the vanilla extract and mix well.
4. Pour the flour mixture. At this stage, use a rubber scraper or wooden spoon. Beat only until combined.
5. Transfer the cookie batter to the prepared baking pan. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in all four concerns comes out dry.
