Butterscotch Bar Cookies image

These butterscotch bars are super easy to make. Great for when your sweet tooth appears. Shredded coconut gives them a hint of coconut flavor. Pecans add a fantastic crunch. The whole crew loved these chewy, buttery bars. We think you will too.

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.

These cookies were a complete disaster. I followed the recipe exactly, but they turned out burnt and crumbly.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but these cookies turned out really flat. They still tasted good, but they didn't look very appetizing.

These cookies were a bit too dry. I would add a little more butter next time.

I had some trouble getting the cookies to spread in the pan. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

These cookies were a little too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the cookies turned out perfectly. They were so good that I ate half of them in one sitting.

I made these cookies for my family and they loved them. They said they were the best cookies I've ever made.

I've made these cookies several times and they always turn out great. They're so easy to make and they're always a crowd-pleaser.

These cookies were amazing! I made them for a party and they were a huge hit. Everyone loved them and asked for the recipe. I will definitely be making these again.
