Sweet, buttery, and loaded with rich butterscotch chips, these homemade cookies have golden edges and soft, chewy centers. They’re the perfect treat for cookie lovers! 😋
Ingredients:
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing just until combined.
- Fold in the butterscotch chips.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 9–12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the centers still look slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Tip: For extra-soft, chewy cookies, chill the dough for 20–30 minutes before baking and avoid overbaking.
