Bake Sale 2!

Well the bake sale is going better than expected, and more items are in need.  Here is my chance to try this butterscotch brownie recipe.  By the way, I already tried one (cook must sample right?), and they are awesome.  These are staying in the back pocket for sure.

3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, plus more for greasing
1 3/4 cups packed brown sugar, light or dark
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp coarse salt
1 cup butterscotch chips or chocolate chips
(or you can combine the two for total of 1 cup)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Butter a 13x9 baking pan.  Place butter in a saucepan and melt it over low heat.  Remove the pan from heat, and add the brown sugar, and stir until blended.  Then let it cool for at least 5 minutes.  Add the vanilla, then the eggs one at a time, and stir quickly so the eggs don't scramble on you.  Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl.  Add flour mixture to the saucepan and stir until combined.  Mix in chips, and scrape the batter into the prepared baking pan and level the top.  Bake until a wooden skewer come out clean in the middle, 25-30 minutes.  Let them cool in the pan on a wire rack, and then cut them into 12 -24 squares.

First time for this recipe, and I found that I needed to bake them longer to get the middle to come out fairly clean.  I let them cool, while I helped out the student council, that my son is proudly on!!  Came back home, and they were ready to cut and package for the bake sale.  I labeled each individual brownie, and noted that there were no nuts, which these days is a big deal.

Off to the bake sale I go...
Happy Baking
