Butterscotch and Chocolate Cookie Bars

These Butterscotch and Chocolate Cookie Bars are a unique addition to any cookie jar, cookie plate or potluck contribution! There’s a traditional vanilla cookie base, a layer of yummy butterscotch and chocolate chips, and a brown sugar meringue topping that will have everyone going back for seconds! The three layers are a tango of flavors and textures that work beautifully together. For instance, the lightness of the meringue topping balanced out the richer cookie base and butterscotch chips. Similar to a seven layer bar, without the coconut, these are a new favorite at Rodelle!
