Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (plus more for topping)
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (2 sticks)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups butterscotch chips
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and sea salt until well blended.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing until well incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Gently fold in the butterscotch chips and semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing the cookies apart. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of each cookie.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a gluten-free version, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute butter with vegan butter or coconut oil.
- Reduce the sugar by a third or use a sugar substitute like erythritol for a lower-sugar option.
- Feel free to experiment with different types of chips, such as dark chocolate or milk chocolate.
