Crispy Butterscotch Cookies
Description
This recipe for Crispy Butterscotch Cookies starts with a drier dough that is handled by rolling balls and flattening them with a glass. The dough’s sugar and butter ratios produce a cookie that is firm on the outside and crunchy, rather than chewy or soft. The baking chips add bursts of smooth, caramel-like butterscotch sweetness that complement the vanilla-scented dough.
Baking at 375 °F for 9-11 minutes develops a golden crust that remains crisp after cooling. The cookies cool on the baking sheet until firm enough to transfer to a wire rack, which helps preserve their texture and prevent sogginess.
These cookies can accompany coffee or tea or be enjoyed simply on their own as a sweet snack with a butterscotch character. Their distinctive thin and crisp shape differs from the usual soft baked cookie shape.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter softened
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 large egg
- 2 cups butterscotch baking chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 °F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Cream together your butter and sugar until it's light and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla, mixing thoroughly. Beat in the flour, baking soda and salt until just combined.
- When that is done, fold in the two cups of butterscotch baking chips by hand.
- Roll a heaping tablespoon of cookie dough into a ball, 12 per cookie sheet.
- Take a glass and using the bottom, flatten out each cookie. If the cookie sticks, start wetting the bottom of the glass with water, they will come right off.
- Flatten each of them as much as you can. This is a dry dough , no sticky chewiness going on here- but it's just wet enough to make perfect little flat cookie patties.
- Bake at 375 for 9-11 minutes, until golden brown. Cool on the sheets until firm then remove and cool on a wire rack completely.
