Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 cups brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 3 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2.5 cups butterscotch chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until creamy and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure tender cookies.

Step 6

Fold in the butterscotch chips evenly throughout the dough using a spatula or wooden spoon.

Step 7

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly soft but will firm up as they cool.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or freeze for longer storage.
