Ingredients

• Wet Ingredients:
  
  

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
    
    

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
    
    

  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
    
    

  • 2 large eggs
    
    

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    
    

• Dry Ingredients:
  
  

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
    
    

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    
    

  • ½ teaspoon salt
    
    

• Add-ins:
  
  

  • 1 cup butterscotch chips
    
    

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
    
    

  • Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling
    
    

Directions

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
   
   

2. Cream Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
   
   

3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
   
   

4. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough cookies.
   
   

5. Add Chips: Fold in the butterscotch chips and semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
   
   

6. Scoop Dough: Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
   
   

7. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft.
   
   

8. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
   
   

9. Optional Garnish: Sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top of each cookie before serving to enhance the flavor.
