I put three recipes together to make these great bars-they really satisfy the sweet tooth.
Ingredients:
1 cup butter-flavored shortening
1 cup sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1 cup old-fashioned oats
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 package (10 ounces) butterscotch chips
1 cup chopped pecans
filling:
1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tablespoon king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream the shortening and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine flour, oats and baking soda; gradually add to the creamed mixture. Stir in chips and pecans. Reserve 2 cups. Spread remaining dough into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan.
2. In a small bowl, combine filling ingredients; beat until smooth. Spread evenly over crust. Crumble reserved dough over filling.
3. Bake at 375° for 40-42 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. Cut into bars. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: about 1-1/2 dozen.
