• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup butterscotch chips
• 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the bars.

2. Prepare the Batter:

• In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
• Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

3. Mix the Dry Ingredients:

• In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

4. Add the Butterscotch Chips:

• Fold in the butterscotch chips (and chopped walnuts, if using).

5. Bake the Bars:

• Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. The top should be golden brown.

6. Cool and Serve:

• Allow the bars to cool in the pan before cutting them into squares.
• Serve and enjoy these sweet, chewy butterscotch bars!

Tips:

• Variations: You can add mini chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, or other nuts for extra texture and flavor.
