Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Mix-ins

  • 1 cup butterscotch chips
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and let the butter soften to room temperature to ensure easier mixing and a smooth dough.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: Using a mixer, beat the softened butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy to build the chewy texture.
  4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth and glossy.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed just until combined to avoid overworking the dough.
  6. Fold in Chips: Gently stir in the butterscotch chips and semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
  7. Chill the Dough: Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to improve texture and prevent excessive spreading during baking.
  8. Bake to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop dough balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Bake for 10–12 minutes until the edges are golden but the centers remain soft and chewy.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter for better mixing and texture.
  • Chill dough before baking to maintain shape and enhance flavors.
  • Avoid overmixing to keep cookies tender and soft.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  • Remove cookies from the oven when edges are set but centers are slightly underbaked for ultimate chewiness.
