Ingredients

• 230 grams Unsalted butter
• 200 grams Granulated sugar
• 150 grams Packed light brown sugar
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 300 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Hop powder (or ground hops)
• 250 grams Butterscotch chips
• 1 pinch Optional flaky sea salt for garnish

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and hop powder.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure your cookies stay tender.

Step 6

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

Step 7

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

Step 8

If desired, sprinkle a small pinch of flaky sea salt on the top of each cookie for added flavor contrast.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers still look slightly undercooked. This will ensure a soft and chewy texture.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Enjoy your Hop Butterscotch Cookies with a cup of tea or coffee for a unique flavor experience!
