Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer. Beat until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Incorporate vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in butterscotch chips gently using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are golden brown and centers appear slightly soft.
- Remove from oven and let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up.
- Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. The cookies will develop a soft, crisp, and crinkled texture as they cool.
Tips
- • Ensure butter is truly softened but not melted for the perfect cookie texture • Use room temperature eggs to help ingredients blend more smoothly • Don't overmix the dough - this can lead to tough cookies • Space cookies evenly on the baking sheet to allow proper spreading • Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes after baking to help them set • Store in an airtight container to maintain their delightful crisp-soft texture • For extra indulgence, slightly underbake to keep the centers extra gooey • Experiment with different chip mix-ins for variety
