Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups butterscotch chips
Instructions:
-
Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda until well combined. Set aside.
-
Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and softened butter until light and fluffy. This can be done using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
-
Incorporate Vanilla Extract: Add the vanilla extract to the creamed butter and sugar mixture. Mix until the vanilla is fully incorporated.
-
Add Eggs: One at a time, add the eggs to the mixture, beating well after each addition until smooth.
-
Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the prepared dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until a smooth dough forms.
-
Fold in Butterscotch Chips: Once the dough is fully mixed, gently fold in the butterscotch chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
-
Form Cookie Dough: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto ungreased cookie sheets, leaving space between each cookie for spreading during baking.
-
Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
-
Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, serve and enjoy these irresistible Toll House Butterscotch Chip Cookies!
