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

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.
