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!
