Description
These Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Cookies with Sea Salt combine sweet butterscotch chips, semisweet chocolate chips, buttery cookie dough, and a sprinkle of sea salt for a delicious sweet-and-salty homemade treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup unsalted butter (straight from fridge or room temperature)
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (measured correctly)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- Sea salt sprinkles (for the sweet and salty vibe!)
- Optional: walnuts
Instructions
- Gather and measure all ingredients. Prepare a baking sheet, lining it with parchment paper if desired.
- Add the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar to a large mixing bowl. Mix until well combined.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until the dry ingredients are incorporated and a cookie dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
- Fold in the butterscotch chips and semisweet chocolate chips. Add the optional walnuts if using, and distribute evenly throughout the dough.
- Portion the dough into evenly sized mounds on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them for spreading.
- Sprinkle a little sea salt over the dough portions.
- Bake using the temperature and baking time specified in the original recipe instructions. The cookies should have lightly golden edges and centers that are set but may still look soft.
- Let the cookies rest briefly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool.
Notes
- Measure the flour carefully using the spoon-and-level method to help prevent dry, dense cookies.
- Room-temperature butter is easier to mix, but the supplied recipe also allows butter straight from the refrigerator.
- Walnuts are optional. Add them with the chocolate and butterscotch chips if desired.
- The original baking temperature, baking time, and yield were not supplied and should be confirmed before publishing.
