Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 cups Butterscotch chips
• 0 Optional sea salt flakes for garnish

Directions

Step 1

Place the butter in a light-colored saucepan over medium heat and melt. Continue cooking the butter, swirling the pan, until it turns golden brown and smells nutty. This should take 4-5 minutes. Remove it from the heat, pour into a heatproof bowl, and let cool for 10 minutes.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

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 on low speed until just combined.

Step 6

Fold in the butterscotch chips using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Cover the dough and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours, for better flavor and texture.

Step 8

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 9

Scoop the dough into 1.5-tablespoon balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underbaked. Do not overbake, as the cookies will continue to firm up while cooling.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Optionally, sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt flakes on each cookie while they are still warm for a sweet and salty contrast.
