Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 c butter
2 c light brown sugar, packed
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 c flour
1 c chopped walnuts
2 c butterscotch baking chips

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare a 9x13" baking dish with food release spray. Set aside. Preheat oven to 350*
  • 2. Melt the butter in a microwave safe bowl, about one minute.
  • 3. Add the light brown sugar and stir to combine.
  • 4. Mix in the baking powder and salt, making sure they're thoroughly incorporated.
  • 5. Mix in the vanilla and the beaten eggs.
  • 6. Add the flour, about half a cup at a time, stirring after each addition.
  • 7. Stir in the nuts. Mix in the butterscotch chips.
  • 8. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, and smooth evenly. Bake 20-25 minutes.
  • 9. Remove from oven. Cool completely on a wire rack. Cut into brownie-size pieces.
  • 10. NOTES: 1)You can make light brown sugar by combining equal amounts of dark brown sugar and granulated sugar, or by mixing molasses into granulated sugar until it's the color you want -- light or dark brown. 2) You could leave the nuts out, if you prefer, or use pecans instead of walnuts. 3) If you're not a butterscotch fan, you could substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips, mini choc. chips, or use just 1 cup of butterscotch, and one cup of white or chocolate. The recipe is very versatile, but I recommend trying the original recipe first. 4) If you really want to kick these up, use 1 c. walnuts, 1 c. butterscotch chips, and 1 c. white chocolate chips. Then frost, when cool, with melted chips (any flavor you like) mixed with 2-3 t. of coconut oil.

  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help the cookies to be chewy and soft.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The cookies should be baked at a moderate temperature so that they have time to cook through without burning.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: This will help the cookies to keep their shape and prevent them from becoming soft and crumbly.
