Perfectly soft and loaded with rich butterscotch chips, these Butterscotch Tea Party Cookies are the ultimate indulgence for any gathering. With a buttery base sweetened by a blend of brown and granulated sugars, each bite melts in your mouth, offering a warm, caramelized flavor that pairs beautifully with your favorite tea or coffee. Ready in just 25 minutes, these cookies feature simple pantry staples like all-purpose flour and vanilla extract, making them easy to whip up for a crowd or enjoy as an everyday treat. The secret to their irresistible texture? A slightly underbaked center that cools to chewy perfection. Ideal for tea parties, holiday spreads, or whenever your sweet tooth strikes, these golden-edged delights are as elegant as they are comforting.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy—about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix 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 ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the butterscotch chips evenly throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls 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 set and the centers look slightly underbaked (they will set as they cool).
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve at your tea party with your favorite tea or coffee, and enjoy the sweet, buttery goodness!
