Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups Brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1.5 cups Butterscotch chips
- 0.75 cups Chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until creamy and smooth, about 2 minutes.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the sugar-butter mixture. Continue mixing on medium speed until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the butterscotch chips and chopped pecans (if using) with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
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 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set. Do not overbake; the cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy your Butterscotch Nummies!
