Chewy Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Cookies
These are the best butterscotch chocolate chip cookies! They have slightly crispy edges, are soft and chewy on the insides, and even have a little bit of cinnamon in them!
Equipment
- Parchment paper
- Baking Sheets
- Mixing Bowls
Ingredients:
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons corn starch
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, melted & cooled for at least 20 minutes
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
- In a microwaveable-safe bowl, melt the butter and let it cool on the counter for 20 minutes (do not skip this step!).
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, corn starch, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted and cooled butter, brown sugar, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Add the flour mixture and use a silicone spatula to gently mix into the wet ingredients until combined. Then fold in the butterscotch chips and chocolate chips.
- Use a medium cookie scoop (I used my #24, which is 2.7 tablespoons) to scoop out the cookie dough. Place the cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking pans and bake for 10-15 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them over to a wire rack to finish cooling.
- The cookies should look slightly underdone on top. They will continue to set up once out of the oven and will become extremely soft and chewy.
- Keep any leftover cookies in an airtight container on the counter for up to 7 days.
Notes:
Baking Sheet: I recommend this specific baking sheet. Line each pan with parchment paper.
Measuring Flour: To help ensure you don’t add extra flour, follow these three simple steps: 1) Fluff up the flour using a fork. 2) Spoon the flour into your measuring cup. 3) Scrape a knife across the top of the measuring cup to level out the flour.
Melted Butter: Make sure the butter is completely cooled. This takes at least 20 minutes sitting at room temperature. Don't skip this step or the cookies might spread too much.
Cookie Scoop: I used a medium cookie scoop, specifically the #24 scoop.
