Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream the butter and sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the butterscotch chips: Gently fold in the butterscotch chips, making sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Scoop and bake: Drop tablespoon-sized scoops of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will still be soft, but they’ll firm up as they cool.
- Cool and serve: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
These Butterscotch Cookies are a decadent and flavorful treat that’s perfect for cookie lovers who enjoy the rich sweetness of butterscotch in every bite!
