Ingredients
- 1 cup butter (softened)
- 1 1/4 cups brown sugar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 3/4 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 11-ounce pkg. butterscotch chips
- sea salt flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 385 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and sugar for about 4 minutes, or until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs and pure vanilla extract and mix for 1 minute longer, scraping the sides of the bowl halfway through mixing.
- Fold in flour, baking soda, and salt. Once you add the dry ingredients, mix until just combined.
- Fold in butterscotch chips, reserving about 1/4 cup to carefully place on the cookies once the cookies are removed from the oven.
- Scoop the cookie dough onto parchment paper-lined light-colored baking sheets. Bake your cookies until the edges are lightly golden brown, about 8-10 minutes. They may seem slightly underdone in the center, but they will continue to cook as they cool on the baking sheet.
- Once you remove from the oven, carefully place the remaining 1/4 cup of butterscotch chips on each cookie. Sprinkle with sea salt flakes, if using. Let set up on a baking sheet for 3-4 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes
- Should I chill the cookie dough?
- If you have time, for best results, chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This helps prevent spreading and allows the flavors to meld together.
