How to Make Light Butterscotch Bars

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar and ¾ cup granulated sugar in a large bowl using a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 4 minutes).
Add 2 large egg whites and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Beat well until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, beating on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Stir in 1 ½ cups butterscotch chips.
Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan with cooking spray.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 28-30 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into bars.
