Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 3 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2.5 cups butterscotch chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until creamy and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure tender cookies.
Fold in the butterscotch chips evenly throughout the dough using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly soft but will firm up as they cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or freeze for longer storage.
