Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup softened butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups butterscotch chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and thick.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each until just incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Fold in the butterscotch chips evenly.
- Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough per cookie and place 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes, until edges are golden and centers slightly soft.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Swap some butterscotch chips with chocolate or white chocolate for variety.
- Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking yields thicker cookies.
- Add cinnamon or chopped nuts for a festive twist.
- Use dairy-free butter and chips for a dairy-free version.
- Cookies can be baked directly from frozen with 1–2 extra minutes.
