INGREDIENTS
- Butter - I use salted butter and make sure it is at room temperature.
- Brown Sugar
- White sugar
- Vanilla extract
- Eggs- This recipe use one whole large egg plus a second egg yolk.
- Flour- All purpose flour works best.
- Baking powder
- Baking soda
- Salt
- Chocolate chips- I use semi sweet chocolate chips
- Butterscotch chips
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl cream together butter and sugars until light and fluffy. You want to do this for a good 5 minutes.
Add in vanilla, egg, and egg yolk. Beat until mixture is well combined.
In a second bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Add dry ingredients into wet and mix until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate and butterscotch chips.
Scoop 3 tbsp sized balls of cookie dough and place on the lined baking sheet 2 inches apart.
Bake cookies for 11 minutes or until bottoms are golden brown. The cookies will look slightly underdone.
Let fully cool on the baking pan before moving and the residual heat will continue to cook the cookies.
While cookies are fresh out of the oven, top with extra butterscotch and chocolate chips.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
STORING THE COOKIES
These cookies should be stored in an airtight container at room temperature. The cookies keep well up to four days.
Where Do I Find Butterscotch Chips?
They should be at the grocery store in the same area you find chocolate chips.
CAN I FREEZE THEM?
Yes, you can freeze the baked cookies or cookie dough balls up to 3 months.
If baking from frozen they will just need a few extra minutes in the oven.
HOW TO GET PERFECTLY ROUND COOKIES
As soon as the baked cookies are pulled from the oven place a round cookie cutter (a little bit large than the cookies) around the cookies and gently swirl it around. This will give your cookie a round shape.
If you don’t have a cookie cutter you can use a glass or a jar lid.
WHAT DOES SPOONED AND LEVELLED FLOUR MEAN?
Spooned and levelled flour refers to the way of measuring flour. To properly measure flour you should scoop spoonfuls of flour into your measuring cup and then scrape with a knife to level off the access.
Scooping the measuring cup directly into your flour cause the flour to compress and getting more than the recipe calls for.
CAN I MAKE THE COOKIES SMALLER?
Yes, you can the cookies smaller. Instead scoop 1.5 tbsp worth of dough and bake for 8-9 minutes.
