– 1 teaspoon baking soda

– ΒΌ teaspoon kosher salt

– Β½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened but still cool

– Β½ cup (107g) light brown sugar, packed

– ΒΌ cup (50g) granulated sugar

– 1 cup (170g) butterscotch chips

– Flaky finishing salt for topping

– Optional: Additional butterscotch chips for topping

Instructions

1-Preheat oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even baking.

2-In a small bowl, whisk together the 1β…” cups (210g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ΒΌ teaspoon kosher salt.

3-In a large bowl, beat the Β½ cup (113g) softened unsalted butter, Β½ cup (107g) packed light brown sugar, and ΒΌ cup (50g) granulated sugar for 2 minutes until smooth.

4-Add the 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract to the butter mixture; mix until fully combined.

5-Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, beating just until combined. Then, stir in the 1 cup (170g) butterscotch chips.

6-Scoop 2-tablespoon portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them a few inches apart.

7-Sprinkle flaky finishing salt lightly over each dough ball.

8-Bake for 9-11 minutes, until the edges are light golden brown and the centers are slightly underdone.

9-Remove cookies from the oven. Optionally, press a few extra butterscotch chips onto the tops immediately.

10-Let cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely. They will firm up as they cool.

Notes

🧈 Use softened but still cool butter to prevent excessive spreading.
βš–οΈ Weigh flour (210g) or measure accurately by whisking and leveling for consistent results.
πŸ“ Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie size and spacing.
⏰ Remove cookies when edges are golden and centers soft; cookies firm as they cool.
❄️ Refrigerate dough if butter is too soft before scooping.
πŸ₯Ά Unbaked dough balls freeze well up to 2 months; thaw overnight and bake with a little extra time.
🍫 Optionally substitute β…“ cup butterscotch chips with chocolate chips for variation.
