Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 ½ cups (312g) all-purpose flour
Mix-ins
- 1 ½ cups (270g) butterscotch chips
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, fully incorporating each before adding the next. Gradually add the all-purpose flour, mixing until a soft cookie dough forms.
- Add Butterscotch Chips: Fold in the butterscotch chips evenly throughout the dough to ensure every cookie will have a rich, sweet butterscotch flavor.
- Scoop the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion the dough onto an ungreased or parchment-lined baking tray, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow spreading.
- Bake the Cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the baking tray in the oven and bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft and chewy.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container.
Notes
- For thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
- You can substitute butterscotch chips with white chocolate or caramel chips for a different flavor.
- Ensure butter is softened to room temperature for easier creaming and better texture.
- Do not overbake; cookies continue to cook on the tray after removal from the oven, preserving a soft center.
