Butterscotch Brownies

I made these beauties a few weeks ago... I used this recipe from bakerella.com... but I used butterscotch chips instead of chocolate chips... I took them into the office for a special treat... and they were a big hit... well most all food in the office is a hit... but I thought they were very good too!

Butterscotch Brownies

2 3/4 cup all purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup butter, softened
1 lb. light brown sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
11.5 ounce package butterscotch chips
1 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Sift flour, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl.  Set aside.

Stir brown sugar into softened butter, until butter disappears, in another large bowl.

Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture.  Stir each one in.

Add vanilla, butterscotch chips, and pecans (optional).  Stir them into the butter mixture.

Stir in the dry ingredients a little at a time.

The batter will be very thick!

Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 pan.  Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown.

Yum... a very tasty treat, indeed.
