Instructions
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1. | Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). |
| 2. | Adjust the oven rack to the second-lowest position. |
| 3. | Grease a 13×9-inch baking pan with cooking spray or butter. |
| 4. | In a mixing bowl, cream together the shortening, sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. |
| 5. | Add the eggs to the creamed mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract. |
| 6. | In a separate bowl, combine the flour, oats, and baking soda. Gradually add this dry mixture to the creamed mixture, mixing until well combined. |
| 7. | Stir in the butterscotch chips and chopped pecans, reserving 2 cups of the mixture for the topping. |
| 8. | Spread the remaining dough evenly into the prepared baking pan, pressing it down firmly to form the crust. |
| 9. | In another mixing bowl, prepare the filling by combining the softened cream cheese, softened butter, sugar, egg, and flour. Mix until smooth and creamy. |
| 10. | Spread the filling evenly over the crust in the baking pan. |
| 11. | Crumble the reserved dough mixture over the filling layer, distributing it evenly. |
| 12. | Bake in the preheated oven for 40-42 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are slightly crispy. |
| 13. | Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack. |
| 14. | Once cooled, use a sharp knife to cut the Butterscotch Bars into individual bars of your desired size. |
| 15. | Serve and enjoy the rich, buttery goodness of these Butterscotch Bars with your favorite beverage or as a delightful dessert on its own! |
