These cookies are a wonderful mix of sweet butterscotch and classic chocolate chips. They are soft and chewy, making them a comforting treat for everyone.
Key Ingredients & Tips for Butterscotch Cookies

How to Make Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Cookies
Step 1: Cream Together Butter and Sugars
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with both brown and white sugars until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each, then stir in the vanilla.
Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients and Chips
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add these dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in the butterscotch and chocolate chips.
Step 3: Bake Your Sweet Cookies
Drop spoonfuls of dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden. Let them cool on the sheet for a few minutes before moving to a wire rack.
