Butterscotch Cookies
These butterscotch cookies are buttery and soft, filled with sweet butterscotch chips for a caramel-like flavor. The dough combines both granulated and brown sugars for moisture and richness and is mixed with baking soda and powder for a balanced rise. The cookies bake quickly at 350°F, resulting in slightly crispy edges with a tender center. Gently reshaping the cookies while warm ensures a neat round shape.
