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.
