Ingredients

• 170 grams Unsalted butter
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 200 grams Brown sugar (light or dark, tightly packed)
• 2 units Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
• 300 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 250 grams Butterscotch chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract until fully combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the butterscotch chips using a spatula or wooden spoon to evenly distribute them throughout the dough.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked — they will firm up as they cool.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve and enjoy these rich, buttery butterscotch cookies. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.
