Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 2 large eggs
Leavening and Seasoning:
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
Flavoring:
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Warm your oven precisely to 350F and grab a clean baking sheet.
- Whisk 2 ¼ cups flour with ½ teaspoon baking soda in a medium bowl until thoroughly blended.
- Beat 1 cup softened butter with ½ cup granulated sugar, 1 cup brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt until the mixture turns creamy and smooth.
- Crack 2 large eggs into the butter mixture and pour in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, then blend until completely integrated.
- Slowly incorporate the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
- Carefully fold 1 cup butterscotch chips and 1 cup chocolate chips into the dough, distributing evenly.
- Scoop rounded tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto your ungreased baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Slide the sheet into the 350F oven and bake for exactly 10-12 minutes, watching for golden edges.
- Remove the sheet from the oven and let your cookies rest for 5 minutes to set their structure.
- Transfer cookies to a wire cooling rack, allowing them to cool completely before enjoying.
Notes
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading and enhance flavor depth.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular flour with a cup-for-cup gluten-free blend that contains xanthan gum.
- Use room temperature butter and eggs to ensure smooth, even mixing and better cookie texture.
- Store cookies in an airtight container with a slice of bread to keep them soft and fresh for several days.
