Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips

Instructions

  • Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • Cream the Butter and Sugars:
    • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
    • Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition, and mix in the vanilla extract.
  • Combine Ingredients:
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
    • Fold in the chocolate chips and butterscotch chips until evenly distributed.
  • Chill the Dough:
    • Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (optional but recommended for extra chewy cookies).
  • Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Bake the Cookies:
    • Scoop dough in 1 1/2 tablespoon-sized balls and place on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
    • Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
    • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For an even richer flavor, try browning the butter before mixing (let it cool slightly before using).
  • These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days at room temperature.
  • Add a pinch of sea salt on top for a sweet-salty touch!
