Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 3/4 cups brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 3/4 cups butterscotch chips
- 3/4 cup chopped pecans
- kosher salt
Instructions
- preheat the oven to 350˚
- melt the butter over medium heat, once melted keep it on the heat until it starts to brown up a bit, this give it a rich nutty flavor
- meanwhile mix flour, salt, and baking powder together, set aside
- prep your 8X8 pan as well, either butter it generously OR line it with foil or parchment paper
- once the butter is browned pour off into a mixing bowl and set it aside for a few minutes to cool, you don't want to add the eggs to it while it's too hot and scramble them
- measure the brown sugar in a large mixing bowl, add the eggs and stir until combined, it will be thick, then add to the cooled butter, mix until well combined
- add the flour mixture, stir to combine, add the butterscotch chips and chopped pecans and stir again
- press into your prepared baking pan
- sprinkle lightly with kosher salt if you like that salty sweet combo
- bake at 350˚ for 30-35 minutes or until set, they will remain dense and soft while cooking but will firm up as they cool
- to cut gently lift out of the pan and cut on a cutting board
