How to make Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Step 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Step 2
In a large bowl, beat the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until creamy and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
- Step 3
Add in the egg and vanilla extract, beating until fully combined.
- Step 4
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Step 5
Fold in the butterscotch chips and chocolate chips.
- Step 6
Cover the dough and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to help marry the flavors. This step is optional but highly recommended.
- Step 7
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Step 8
Scoop cookie dough (about 1 tbsp per cookie) and place on the baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Step 9
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges but still soft in the center.
- Step 10
Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
