Best Ever Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
These butterscotch chocolate chip cookies are soft, chewy, and packed with incredible flavor. You will love how easy they are to make, and they disappear fast!
Key Ingredients & Tips for Butterscotch Cookies
- Brown Sugar Power: This is key for the chewy texture and deep butterscotch notes in your cookies. Make sure it’s packed tightly when you measure it.
- Chilling the Cookie Dough: A quick 30-minute chill in the fridge helps prevent your cookies from spreading too much while baking, giving you nice, thick cookies.
What You Need for Butterscotch Cookies
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
⏱️ Prep Time: 20 minutes⏱️ Bake Time: 12-15 minutes🍽️ Yields: About 30 cookies
How to Make Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Cookies
Step 1: Prep Your Oven and Dry Ingredients
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this aside.
Step 2: Mix Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the softened unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract until everything is well combined.
Step 3: Combine and Fold
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Fold in both the butterscotch chips and the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula.
Step 4: Bake Your Cookies
Drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving a little space between each. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Let the cookies cool on the sheets for a few minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
📝 Final Note
Store any leftover butterscotch chocolate chip cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They also freeze very well for future cravings!
