Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven & Prep Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the 3 cups brown sugar and 1 ½ cups melted butter. Mix with an electric mixer or whisk until smooth and well combined. Add the 3 eggs and 1 tablespoon vanilla extract and mix until fully combined.
- Combine Dry & Wet: In a separate bowl, sift together the 3 ¼ cups flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 2 teaspoons salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined and no dry streaks remain. Do not overmix.
- Add Chips & Nuts: Stir in the 2 cups butterscotch chips and the optional ¾ cup chopped walnuts or cashews until just combined throughout the dough.
- Bake: Transfer the thick dough to the prepared baking dish, spreading it into an even layer. Bake for 55-60 minutes. If the top begins to brown too quickly, cover the dish loosely with foil for the last 15 minutes of baking.
- Cool & Slice: Allow the Butterscotch Chewies to cool completely in the pan before attempting to slice them. This is crucial for achieving their signature chewy texture and clean cuts.
Enjoy your decadent Butterscotch Chewies!
