Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 3/4 cup white granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup butterscotch chips

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

Set aside.

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

Gradually mix in the flour mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Stir in the butterscotch chips.

Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Let the cookies cool and crisp up before serving.

Notes

Use high-quality butterscotch chips for the best flavor.

Make sure to not overmix the dough, as it can lead to tough cookies.

If you want a crisper cookie, bake for 14 minutes.

If you prefer a chewier cookie, bake for 12 minutes.

To ensure cookies retain their crispiness, store them in an airtight container at room temperature.

Consider doubling the recipe, as these cookies are perfect for gift-giving or snacking on the go.

Keep an eye on the cookies while they’re baking, as the baking time may vary depending on your oven.
