Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a stand mixer, beat together 1/2 cup butter for crust and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in flour until a crust forms.
- Line a 9×9 square baking dish and line with parchment paper. Press the dough into the pan firmly and bake for 10 minutes, or until just golden brown. Remove from oven and cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, butter, vanilla, flour, baking powder and salt.
- Add in the walnuts and butterscotch chips. Pour into the cooled cookie crust.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is set and dark golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before removing from the baking dish.
- Run a knife around the edges of the baking sheet if the bars have baked into the side of the dish and crystalized.
- Using a long knife – to avoid running the knife through the bars – cut into 16 bars. Serve.
