Butterscotch Cookie Recipe
When I set out to make the perfect recipe for butterscotch cookies, the goal was to develop the best flavor and the perfect cookie texture. Mission successful! I used my tried-and-true methods learned over my years as a baker to make a cookie that is chewy in the center, crisp on the edges, packed with butterscotch flavor and delivers on presentation, too.
Servings: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 3 cups (360g) all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 11 or 12 oz bag (312g) butterscotch chips
- 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter 2 sticks, room temperature
- 1 ¼ cups (266g) brown sugar
- ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350º F. Line a cookie sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl combine the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and 1 cup of butterscotch chips. Set aside.3 cups (360g) all-purpose flour, 2 tsp cornstarch, 1 tsp baking soda, ¼ tsp salt, ½ tsp cinnamon, 11 or 12 oz bag (312g) butterscotch chips
- In a larger mixing bowl combine the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. You want this mixture to be fluffy and pale in color.1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, 1 ¼ cups (266g) brown sugar, ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
- Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, beat for 30 seconds.2 large eggs, 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, mixing on low speed. The dough will be thick. I like to finish mixing the flour into the dough by hand with a spatula.
- Use a cookie scoop to form golf ball sized cookie dough balls, roll into a smooth ball between your hands. Press the remaining butterscotch chips on the outside of the dough balls. Place about 8 cookies on a cookie sheet lined with a silicone baking mat at a time.
- For 2 Tbsp sized dough balls, bake for 10-13 minutes. Adjust the bake time accordingly for smaller or larger cookies.
- Allow the cookies to cool for 15 minutes on the baking sheet before removing.
