Still going through the 'B' list for cookie recipes although they are all A+ in taste! These are a fast, easy bar cookie that tastes just great and their humble appearance provides a tasty surprise.
Butterscotch Lemon Walnut Bars
2 1/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1 cup butter
2 large eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon freshly grated orange zest
1 teaspoon orange extract
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup toasted and chopped walnuts
Melt together the sugar and butter until sugar dissolves. Cool.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Either vegetable oil spray a baking sheet with sides (aka jelly roll pan) or line with parchment paper.
Add the eggs to the butter/sugar mixture and beat until well combined.
Add the flour, baking powder, and salt to the egg/butter/sugar and mix well. Stir in the zest, extracts, and walnuts.
Spread evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes or until the cookie is a pale brown and a slight dent is left when you press the top gently. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack. Cut while still very warm into your desired size.
