Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter 8 ounces -room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar 150 grams
- 1 cup brown sugar 200 grams
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 325 grams
- 1 teaspoon baking soda 5 grams
- 1/2 teaspoon salt 3 grams
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 5 grams
- 2 cups butterscotch chips 340 grams (plus an extra 1/2 cup for pressing into the top of the cookie balls)
- 2 cups crushed potato chips 4 ounces
Instructions
- Using an electric mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer (with the paddle attachment), cream together the room temperature (not melted!) butter, sugar, and brown sugar. Cream for 2-3 minutes on medium-high speed.
- Mix in the eggs and vanilla. Mix for 1 minute or until well combined.
- Add in the flour, salt and baking soda. Mix until combined. Lastly, mix in the potato chips and butterscotch chips.
- Scoop the dough into balls using a 1 1/2" cookie scoop and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Place dough balls 2" apart on a parchment lined baking sheet (or use a silicone baking mat). If you'd like, press a few extra butterscotch chips or leftover crushed chips on the top of the dough balls which will make them look pretty after baking.
- Bake for about 11 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden brown around the edges.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 3-4 minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool completely.
