Butterscotch Cookies Recipe
These soft and chewy butterscotch cookies recipe is made with a few simple ingredients. The dough mixes up quickly and after 20 minutes of chill time in the freezer they bake up soft with crispy edges.
Ingredients
- ¾ Cup Unsalted Butter room temperature
- ¾ Cup Brown Sugar
- ¾ Cup White Sugar
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2½ Cups Flour ~ all purpose
- 1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
- ½ Teaspoon Salt
- 11 Ounces Butterscotch Chips
Instructions
-
In a mixing bowl mix the butter until fluffy. Mix into the butter the brown and white sugar. Mix until well combined and the ingredients become light and fluffy. About 2 minutes.
-
Add into the butter sugar mixture one egg at a time until each is well combined. Mix in the vanilla extract.
-
Into another mixing bowl sift the flour, baking soda, and salt.
-
Slowly add the flour mixture into the butter mixture until all the flour mixture is added.
-
Chill the cookie dough in the freezer for 20 minutes or in the refrigerator for 40 minutes.
-
Preheat the oven to 350℉, line cookie sheets with either silicone liners or parchment paper.
-
Remove the cookie dough from the freezer and fold in the butterscotch chips.
-
Use a 1 0r 2 Tablespoon cookie scoop or a tablespoon to scoop out the cookie dough and place on the cookie sheet. Place them 1 inch apart. We like larger cookies so I use a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop.
-
Bake in the 350 ℉ preheated oven for 14-16 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are slightly golden and the centers look undercooked. I like to bake these cookies on a rack that is in the middle of the oven, only using one cookie sheet at a time.
-
Remove cookies from the oven and leave them on the cookie sheets for 5 minutes to continue to bake.
-
After the 5 minutes remove cookies from cookies sheets and place them on a wire rack to cool.
