Ingredients
– 1 cup butter, softened
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1 cup brown sugar, softened
– 2 eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
– 1 (11-ounce) bag butterscotch chips
Instructions
1-First, in a large bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes until fluffy. This step is crucial for that light texture we love.
2-Next, add eggs and mix until combined, making sure everything blends smoothly.
3-In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
4-Then, with the mixer on low speed, gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
5-Fold in the butterscotch chips carefully to keep that gooey surprise in every bite.
6-Cover the dough and refrigerate for 30 to 45 minutes this helps prevent spreading and gives you thicker cookies!
7-Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or nonstick spray.
8-Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough into balls and place them 1 to 1 1/2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
9-Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden.
10-Let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
