Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (226 grams) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (220 grams) packed brown sugar
- 2 ½ cups (313 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (170 grams) butterscotch chips
- 1 cup (170 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Leavening Agents:
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
Flavor and Seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350°F and arrange oven rack in the middle position. Cover baking trays with parchment paper for effortless cookie removal.
- Using an electric mixer, blend butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy and airy, approximately 3 minutes, ensuring a smooth texture.
- Incorporate eggs individually into the butter mixture, then infuse vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly until ingredients are completely integrated.
- Sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a separate vessel, creating a uniform dry mixture.
- Slowly introduce dry ingredients into wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined without overmixing the dough.
- Delicately fold butterscotch and chocolate chips throughout the cookie dough, ensuring even distribution of sweet morsels.
- Portion dough using a cookie scoop, creating uniform rounds positioned two inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
- Slide trays into preheated oven and bake for 11-13 minutes, watching for golden-brown edges while maintaining soft centers.
- Remove cookies and let them rest on baking sheets for 4-5 minutes, then transfer to wire cooling rack until completely cooled and set.
Notes
- Soften butter at room temperature for 30-45 minutes to ensure smooth, even mixing without over-beating.
- Use parchment paper or silicone mats to prevent sticking and achieve uniform cookie browning.
- Chill dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and create thicker, chewier cookies.
- For gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend to maintain similar texture and taste.
