Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 9

10 Tbsp butter (1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp)
2 c brown sugar, firmly packed
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 c all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 c shredded coconut
1 c chopped pecans (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 9" x 12" baking dish by greasing with Crisco.
  • 2. In a heavy saucepan, perhaps one in which you can use a hand mixer, cook butter and brown sugar over low heat until bubbly, stirring constantly. Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • 3. If you cannot use mixer beaters in your saucepan, pour sugar/butter mixture into a mixer bowl. Add eggs one at a time and beat. (If the mixture is fairly hot, beat eggs immediately after adding them.) Add vanilla extract.
  • 4. In a bowl, mix flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir to combine. Add to the butter/sugar mixture and mix to combine.
  • 5. Add coconut and nuts (if using). Mix in well. The batter will be very stiff.
  • 6. Scrape batter into prepared baking dish. Use a knife to level batter in the pan. (Or pick up the pan and slightly shake it from side to side.)
  • 7. Bake in preheated oven for 25-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • 8. Let cool on a wire rack. After 5-10 minutes, cut into squares while brownies are still somewhat warm.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality butter for the best flavor and texture.
  • Cream the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy. This will help the cookies to be chewy and tender.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set around the edges, but still slightly soft in the center. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting, if desired. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

These butterscotch cookie bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a holiday party.

With their chewy texture, rich butterscotch flavor, and optional chocolate frosting, these cookie bars are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying treat, give these butterscotch cookie bars a try.
