Butterscotch Cookie Bars

by

Happy Valentine’s Day!

This will be our 7th Valentine’s Day together. When we first started dating, we used to go all out— a dinner reservation at a fancy restaurant or a fun staycation. Now that we have a daughter and a nursing (almost) 2 month old, we opted to stay home and celebrate.

After we put out daughter to bed, we’re going to make a fun dinner, open a bottle of wine, and watch some good romantic comedies all while hoping baby boy takes a long nap. I honestly wouldn’t have it any other way!

After dinner we need a sweet treat of course. That’s where these Butterscotch Cookie Bars come into play. These  are easier than a batch of cookies and equally (if not more) delicious! If you are a fan of oatmeal scotchies, this is definitely a recipe for you. They’re delicious on their own, but for the occasion I will be topping them with sinful dolce de leche ice cream.
