Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1.5 cups Brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1.5 cups Butterscotch chips
• 0.75 cups Chopped pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until creamy and smooth, about 2 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the sugar-butter mixture. Continue mixing on medium speed 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 on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the butterscotch chips and chopped pecans (if using) with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

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 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set. Do not overbake; the cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy your Butterscotch Nummies!
