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
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and let the butter soften to room temperature to ensure easier mixing and a smooth dough.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- 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.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth and glossy.
- 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.
- Fold in Chips: Gently stir in the butterscotch chips and semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
- Chill the Dough: Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to improve texture and prevent excessive spreading during baking.
- 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.
