Close your eyes for a minute.
Imagine…
Chewy butterscotch cookie bars. Imagine these little butterscotch blondies fresh from the oven with a scoop of ice cream melting on top. Oh, and don’t forget the butterscotch ice cream topping.
Are you drooling yet? If not…are you breathing?!!
In my mind, butterscotch does not get the credit it deserves. When people think dessert, what comes to mind? Chocolate. Peanut Butter. Strawberries.
Butterscotch tends to get left behind.
But when you’re looking for an easy dessert to whip up? This chewy butterscotch bars recipe is the answer. Just 10 minutes. Simple ingredients. A little too easy.
Just a hint when you’re making these bars. I recommend under baking them just a little bit. The recipe calls for baking the bars at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes. I tend to bake them for no more than 30 minutes, but they will be a little underdone inside. If you want them firmer, add that extra 5 minutes to the baking time.
Also, I like to cut these bars shortly after they come out of the oven. They tend to get hard to cut and remove the longer they sit in the pan.
My last hint?
Serve them with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. And maybe a drizzling of butterscotch sauce. The butterscotch cookie bars will be a hit. I promise.

I originally shared this recipe on Real Housemoms.
My New Nabbor made this for My Family and We Loved it so much, hoping to make some of our own, for others! California San Diego
I wanted to make something simple and this recipe caught my eye. I made it tonight and its amazing! I didn’t have butterscotch chips in the house so I added a cup of chopped pecans and a cup of toffee bits. These will be made again and again
Very easy very tasty i used an extra egg bc what i had were medium size
Can this be made a day or two ahead and refrigerated then cooked?
This is the best desert I’ve ever had! I’m pretty young and I made these taste great! Thanks for posting this recipe!!
Ps I love your personality!!!! 👍👍😃
Recipe says baking powder, video says baking soda, uh oh…. I used powder. Hope that is correct :/
I noticed on the demonstration on how to make the butterscotch cookies they used baking soda instead of powder.Which should we use. Thank You.
I wanted to make butterscotch cookie bars and could have sworn I used to find a recipe on the back of the nestles bag. They don’t have a recipe anymore so I had to come searching. I didn’t want to use oatmeal, and I was happy I found your recipe. I followed the recipe exactly, except I really wanted them in a jelly roll pan (11 x 15). Just made it fit. I baked in my oven for about 22 minutes. These are yummy and have a wonderful flavor! I will definitely be making them again, and next time I’ll… Read more »
They are delicious! If I want to double the recipe would I need to do anything different? It might be a duh question but I am not a very good baker:)
Turned out super delicious!
I was skeptical when putting these in the oven. They didn’t spread smoothly and it look different than the video. I used my hands to push them in the pan. So glad I tried these! They are amazing! I baked 30 minutes and they were perfect.
I made this and the its kind of gooey and I want them a little cakey but still chewy, what can you recommend for me to do or add or remove from the ingredients?
I just tried this and it came out like a rock! I only had medium eggs. Should I have used 3 in that case?
Butter: salted or unsalted??
These came out very good! I used salted butter and added a splash of butterscotch schnapps too. Addictive.
