Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup (150g) brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (175g) butterscotch chips
- 1 cup (175g) chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Beat in eggs, one at a time, followed by vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until incorporated.
- Fold in butterscotch chips and chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly underbaked.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
[‘Don’t overmix the dough to avoid dense cookies.’, ‘Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking for thicker cookies.’, ‘Use room temperature ingredients for a uniform texture.’, ‘Take cookies out of the oven when centers look slightly doughy; they will firm up as they cool.’, ‘Experiment with chip ratios or add nuts for customization.’]
