Ingredients:

4 cups All-Purpose Flour

2 tsp Baking Soda

3/4 tsp Salt

1 1/2 cups Butter, softened

1 cup Granulated Sugar

1 1/2 Brown Sugar, packed 

2 Eggs, room temperature

1 tsp Vanilla Extract 

6 oz Chocolate Chunks

6 oz Butterscotch Chips

Powder Sugar (optional)


Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl whisk together flour, baking soda and salt; set aside. Cream the butter, sugar and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl for 4 minutes. Turn the mixer to a low speed and add in the eggs (1 at a time) and vanilla extract. (Be sure to randomly stop the mixer and scrap the sides.) Slowly add in the dry ingredients and mix together. Add in the chocolate chunks and butterscotch chips; stir to combine. Place the cookie dough onto a baking sheet (12x18), lined with parchment paper and sprayed with non stick cooking spray. Evenly spread cookie dough across the pan and place in the preheated oven for 30 minutes; bake until lightly golden brown.Allow for the cookie to cool before lifting it out of the pan and cutting. Cut into bars, serve and enjoy! *Optional: Dust powder sugar over the top after cutting
