2. Prepare the batter: In a mixing bowl, cream together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, butter, and margarine at medium speed until well-blended. This usually takes about 4 minutes. Once creamy and smooth, add in the egg whites and vanilla extract, and beat the mixture well until fully combined.

3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, lightly spoon the all-purpose flour into measuring cups and level it with a knife. Then, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt, stirring well with a whisk until evenly mixed.

4. Incorporate dry ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, beating at low speed just until blended. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough bars. The batter should be smooth and well-combined.

5. Prepare the pan: Prepare an 8-inch square baking pan by spraying it with cooking spray. This prevents the bars from sticking to the pan and makes for easy removal once baked.

6. Spread the batter: Evenly spread the prepared batter into the greased baking pan, ensuring it reaches all corners for uniform baking.

7. Add toppings: Sprinkle the top of the batter evenly with butterscotch morsels. These morsels will melt during baking, creating a luscious layer of butterscotch goodness.

8. Bake to perfection: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake the Butterscotch Bars for 28-30 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on them towards the end to avoid over-browning.

9. Cool and serve: Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and allow the Butterscotch Bars to cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then, carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, cut the bars into squares and serve.
