Ingredients
1cupButter(softened)
1 1/4cupsBrown Sugar
1/2cupSugar
2largeEggs
2teaspoonsVanilla
2 3/4cupsFlour
1teaspoonBaking Soda
1/2teaspoonSalt
11-ouncepkg.Butterscotch Chips
Sea Salt Flakes(optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 385 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and sugar for about 4 minutes, or until light and fluffy.
Add eggs and pure vanilla extract and mix for 1 minute longer, scraping the sides of the bowl halfway through mixing.
Fold in flour, baking soda, and salt. Once you add the dry ingredients, mix until just combined.
Fold in butterscotch chips, reserving about 1/4 cup to carefully place on the cookies once the cookies are removed from the oven.
Scoop the cookie dough onto parchment paper-lined light-colored baking sheets. Bake your cookies until the edges are lightly golden brown. They may seem slightly underdone in the center, but they will continue to cook as they cool on the baking sheet.
Once you remove from the oven, carefully place the remaining 1/4 cup of butterscotch chips on each cookie. Sprinkle with sea salt flakes, if using. Let set up on a baking sheet for 3-4 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Notes
Should I chill the cookie dough?If you have time, for best results, chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This helps prevent spreading and allows the flavors to meld together.
