Categories     Dessert

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/3 cup all purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
10 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened (1 1/4 sticks))
2/3 cup creamy peanut butter (at room temp)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup brown sugar (packed)
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup butterscotch chips (divided)
sea salt (I like flaky Maldon sea salt) (for topping)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and set side.
  • In a large bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat butter and peanut butter until smooth and combined. Add both sugars and beat to combine. Beat in egg and vanilla extract. Add the flour mixture all at once and beat until just combined. Stir in about 2/3 cup of butterscotch chips (reserving the rest for topping the cookies).
  • Scoop the dough into balls (I use a 1 1/2 tablespoon scoop), and place a couple inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Press a few of remaining butterscotch chips on top of the dough balls. Bake for 8-11 minutes, until the edges are light golden brown, but the center is still slightly underdone. Immediately sprinkle with sea salt, and place the sheets on wire racks to cool. Repeat with remaining dough, allowing the cookie sheets to cool COMPLETELY before placing dough on them.

Made with a simple combination of oats, peanut butter, butterscotch chips, and a hint of maple syrup, these bars offer a rich and satisfying flavor experience. Here are some tips and a conclusion to help you create these delicious treats:

Tips:

  • Use quality peanut butter. Opt for a natural peanut butter without added sugars or oils for the purest peanut butter flavor.

  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting. This helps to prevent them from falling apart.

Conclusion:
