Calories 242kcal
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup chopped pecans toasted and cooled, divided use
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1 Tbsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup butterscotch baking chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread pecans in a single layer on a sheet pan. Toast for 6-8 minutes or until lightly golden and fragrant. Set aside to cool.
- Meanwhile, in a medium heavy bottomed saucepan melt together butter and brown sugar over medium heat. Stir just until the sugar has dissolved then pour into a medium bowl and set aside to cool for 5-10 minutes. (Slightly warm is fine.)
- Add the eggs and vanilla to the brown sugar mixture, beating with an electric mixer on medium speed to fully combine.
- To the bowl add the flour and salt. Beat on medium speed until fully moistened. Add 1 cup of the toasted pecans and butterscotch chips. Mix by hand to evenly distribute throughout the batter.
- Spray a 13x9 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Spread the batter evenly in the pan. Sprinkle the top with reserved 1/4 cup pecans.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes back clean.
- Cool in the pan on a cooling rack then cut into squares and enjoy.
