How to Make Butterscotch Brownies:

- Step 2 – Prepared Pan – Next, spray a 9X13 baking pan with cooking spray or you can use parchment paper.
- Step 3 – Combine Ingredients – Now, combine the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl and beat well.
- Step 4 – Add in Eggs and Vanilla Extract – Once the sugar mixture is well combined. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix together.
- Step 5 – Mix in dry ingredients – Get another bowl out and mix the flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt together.
- Step 6 – Combine mixtures together – Gradually stir in the flour mixture into the butter mixture. It is best to do this by hand. Be careful to not overmix this and stir until just combined.
- Step 7 – Mix in Butterscotch Chips – Finally, add the butterscotch chips. Fold them in gently with a spoon.
- Step 8 – Pour batter into pan – Next, spread the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes. Oven times vary so I like to use a toothpick inserted into the center to make sure it comes out clean.

How to Cut Brownies:
- Cool Brownies Completely – The chewy butterscotch brownies need to cool completely before slicing them.

- Spatula – Use a spatula to scoop out brownie and serve.
Brownies with Butterscotch Chips Recipe Tips:
- Baking Pan – Prepare the baking dish by spraying the pan with cooking spray or line with a parchment paper.
- Mixing Brownie – Don’t over mix the brownie batter. Just mix until the brownie mix is combined.
- Baking Brownies – Be careful to not over bake the brownies. We like the soft center so we like to use the toothpick to check if done.

- Butterscotch Chips – Carefully mix in the butterscotch chips into the brownie batter. We recommend stirring in with a spoon.

Variation Ideas:

- Ice Cream – These brownies are perfect served with vanilla ice cream.
- White Chocolate Chips – For added texture and color, mix in some white chocolate chips.
