Description

These butterscotch chocolate chip cookies are gooey, decadent, and packed with rich butterscotch and melty chocolate chips. Perfect for cozy nights or festive gatherings, they’re soft in the center, slightly crisp on the edges, and bursting with indulgent flavors.

Ingredients

Scale

1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup (200 g) brown sugar
1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 3/4 cups (345 g) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (170 g) butterscotch chips
1 cup (170 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Mix in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the butterscotch chips and chocolate chips.
Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets (about 2 tablespoons per cookie). Chill the dough in the fridge for 20-30 minutes.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.

Notes

Chill the dough for better texture and less spreading. If cookies spread too much, chill longer or add 1-2 tablespoons of flour. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
