Ingredients
- 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup (150g) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups (400g) packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 & 1/4 cups (156g) chopped peanuts
- 1 & 1/2 cups (255g) semisweet chocolate chips, divided
- 1/2 cup (85g) butterscotch chips
- 1/2 cup (60g) chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup (42g) sweetened coconut flakes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch square baking pan. Line with parchment paper.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter until light and fluffy. Add the brown sugar and continue beating until creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla.
- Reduce mixer speed to low. Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing until almost blended. Stir in the peanuts and 1 cup (170g) chocolate chips.
- Transfer the dough to the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle the top with the remaining chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, pecans, and coconut.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the topping is bubbly and lightly browned.
- Cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
