butterscotch cookies

Butterscotch Cookies are soft, chewy,&nbsp;and made with only a few basic ingredients!

Butterscotch Cookies

unsalted butter (softened)

brown sugar

sugar

vanilla

eggs

all-purpose flour

baking soda

salt

butterscotch chips (one package)

Cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth about 3-4 minutes. Add the vanilla extract. Then add one egg at a time, mixing until combined between adding them.

In a measuring cup combine flour, baking soda, and salt. With the mixer running on low slowly add the flour. Mix until just combined. Then add butterscotch chips and mix until evenly distributed.

Chill dough for 20 minutes in the freezer or for 40 minutes in the fridge.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Use a tablespoon-sized cookie scoop to drop balls of dough onto a cookie sheet covered with parchment paper and bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are just lightly golden and the middle looks slightly uncooked.

Let cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes then transfer with a cookie spatula to a cooling rack and let cool completely.

The softest and chewiest Butterscotch Cookies with a deep, rich caramel-toffee flavor. These cookies are loaded with butterscotch baking chips to further intensify the sweetness and flavor.

unsalted butter

(103 grams) packed light brown sugar

(45 grams) packed dark brown sugar ((or

vanilla extract

(49 grams) molasses (Note 1)

baking powder

fine sea salt

(225 grams) white all-purpose flour (Note 2)

(125 grams) butterscotch chips

WET INGREDIENTS: Melt the butter in a large microwave-safe bowl. Let butter stand at room temperature for 5 minutes to cool down. (If the butter is hot, it will melt the sugars and cause greasy cookies.) Once the butter has cooled, add in the dark brown and light brown sugar. Whisk (or stir with a wooden spoon) until butter and sugars are well incorporated, about 1-2 minutes. Take your time to be sure the butter and sugar integrate; it will seem like they won&#039;t, but keep whisking until completely integrated. Add in the egg, vanilla, and molasses. Mix until combined.

DRY INGREDIENTS: Add in the baking soda, baking powder, and salt and mix to combine. Add the flour (See Note 2) on top. Mix until just combined, taking care not to overmix the dough. Add in the butterscotch chips and mix to incorporate. Cover the dough tightly and chill for 1 hour.

ROLL COOKIE DOUGH BALLS: Roll tall cylinders of dough. Each ball should be a full 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of dough (30 grams if you have a food scale). Cover and refrigerate the balls of dough for 5-10 more minutes (the dough gets warm when handled).

BAKE: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place dough balls on a parchment or Silpat-lined sheet pan (we like the Silpat sheet best for these cookies), spread far apart (I only bake 6-8 cookies at a time since they spread a lot), and bake for 9-14 minutes. Watch carefully, being sure not to overbake. (We remove ours at 10 minutes.) Slightly underbaked Butterscotch Cookies are the best! Remove from the oven and immediately, if needed, press any wayward edges of the cookie inwards with the back of a metal spatula. Let cookies stand on the cookie sheet for 4-5 minutes before removing them to a cooling rack.

STORAGE: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. They&#039;re best enjoyed within 3-4 days. Freeze cookie dough as opposed to baked cookies (see next step).

FREEZING DOUGH: Instead of freezing the baked cookies, freeze the dough! Drop the cookie dough balls on a large sheet pan and freeze until solid. Once solid, transfer the frozen cookie dough balls to an airtight container or bag and freeze for up to 3 months. You can bake these cookies straight from the freezer. There is no need to thaw, but you may need to add a few extra minutes to the baking time. Bake until the edges are lightly browned, and the center is still soft.
