Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with non-stick spray or butter.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened unsalted butter with both brown sugar and granulated sugar. Beat on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in pure vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in butterscotch chips and toffee bits until evenly distributed.
  6. Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the edges turn golden brown.
  7. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack for about 30 minutes before cutting.
