Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
Chips and Mix-ins:
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup butterscotch chips
Flavor Enhancers and Leavening:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Cream softened butter and sugars in a large mixing bowl until the mixture becomes pale and airy, creating a smooth, whipped texture.
- Incorporate eggs and vanilla extract, blending thoroughly until the mixture achieves a uniform consistency.
- Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl, ensuring even distribution of dry ingredients.
- Gradually fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring minimally to prevent overworking the dough.
- Delicately fold chocolate and butterscotch chips throughout the cookie dough, distributing them evenly.
- Refrigerate the prepared dough for 30 minutes to enhance flavor development and prevent excessive spreading during baking.
- Heat oven to 375°F (190°C). Scoop rounded tablespoons of chilled dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes until edges turn golden brown and centers appear slightly soft.
- Remove from oven and allow cookies to rest on baking sheet for 3-4 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack.
Notes
- Refrigerating the dough for at least 30 minutes prevents spreading and helps develop deeper, richer flavors.
- Ensure butter and eggs are at room temperature for smoother mixing and better cookie texture.
- Fold chips gently to prevent breaking and ensure even distribution throughout the dough.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container with a slice of bread to maintain softness and prevent hardening.
