CATEGORIES
INGREDIENTS
  • Servings: 16
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter or stick margarine, softened
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Cooking spray
  • 1/2 cup butterscotch morsels (I used peanut butter and chocolate chips)
DIRECTIONS
  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. Beat sugars and butter at medium speed of a mixer until well-blended (about 4 minutes). Add egg whites and vanilla; beat well. Lightly spoon the flour into dry measuring cups, and level with a knife. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt; stir well with a whisk. Add flour mixture to sugar mixture; beat at low speed just until blended.
  3. Spread batter evenly into an 8-inch square baking pan coated with cooking spray; sprinkle evenly with morsels. Bake at 350° for 28 minutes (I baked for 17-18 minutes, I recommend about 15 minutes) or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack
