Average User Rating:
These sweet squares are quick and easy and make a delightful dessert for your holiday table. They're best made with a combination of chocolate and butterscotch chips, but you can make them with just one kind, if you prefer.
Ingredients
- 1-1/2 cups (375 mL) all-purpose flour
- 1-1/2 tsp. (7 mL) baking powder
- 1/4 tsp. (1 mL) salt
- 1-1/4 cups (300 mL) brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) butter, softened
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp. (5 mL) vanilla
- 1-1/3 cups (325 mL) semisweet chocolate or butterscotch chips (or half and half)
Cooking Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
- Grease a 9x13-inch (23x33-cm) rectangular baking dish. In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking powder and salt. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat together brown sugar and butter just until combined. Add eggs and vanilla and continue beating for another minute or two until creamy. Add flour in two or three portions, beating just until combined after each addition. Finally, stir in chocolate or butterscotch chips.
- Spread batter in the prepared pan and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until lightly browned on top and a toothpick poked into the middle comes out clean.
