Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Butterscotch chips
- 1 cup Cashews, roughly chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream the mixture on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, making sure to mix well after each addition.
Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the cookies tender.
Using a spatula or wooden spoon, fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and chopped cashews until evenly distributed in the dough.
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets to allow room for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still slightly soft.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the cookies slightly warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
