Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1.5 cups butterscotch chips

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add in the egg and vanilla extract, and beat until fully incorporated.

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 ingredients, mixing just until the dough comes together.

Step 6

Fold in the butterscotch chips using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, scoop the dough into round balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned but the centers remain soft.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
