Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter (Softened)
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (High-quality preferred)
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Caramel Sauce (Homemade or store-bought)
- 1 teaspoon Sea Salt Flakes (For sprinkles)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy and smooth.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Spread half of the batter evenly in the greased baking pan. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the batter, then top with the remaining batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before sprinkling the sea salt flakes on top.
Notes
For best results, allow bars to cool completely before cutting. They can be enjoyed warm or cold.
