Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups butterscotch chips
• 1 cup pecans, chopped and toasted

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract until fully combined.

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 on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the butterscotch chips and toasted pecans using a spatula or wooden spoon.

Step 7

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are just set.

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

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