Ingredients

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy—about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Slowly incorporate this dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  5. Fold in the butterscotch and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving space between each for spreading—about 2 inches apart.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden, and the centers are set but still soft.
  2. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For extra thick cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking. These cookies pair wonderfully with a glass of milk or a warm cup of coffee.
