Cookie ingredients

Ingredients you will need for Butterscotch White Chocolate Chip Cookies

So, now that you have found the best cookie recipe ever… let’s gather all the ingredients.

Here’s what you will need:

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 ½ cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips

Substitutions:

  • You can substitute any flavor chocolate chips for the butterscotch and white chocolate chips. But this is our preferred flavors and they are soooo good. Give them a try!

Tools you will need:

Step by Step Instructions

Step 1.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and prepare cookie sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat.

Butter and brown sugar in bowl

Step 2.

Cream together butter and brown sugar for 2-3 minutes on medium speed. (Make sure your butter is not too soft. I prefer to use butter that is a little cooler than room temperature. If your butter is too soft the cookies will spread and be more flat.) Add eggs and vanilla. Increase speed of mixer to medium/high and blend for another 2 minutes.

Cookie Batter in bowl

Step 3.

Add flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix just until dry ingredients are combined. If you mix the dough too long after the flour has been added, you add extra air into the dough which will cause the cookies to rise and deflate and become crispy and hard.

Step 4.

Lastly add white chocolate and butterscotch chips. Gently fold the chips in to avoid over mixing.

Step 5.

Scoop cookies onto parchment or silpat lined cookie sheet.  I like to use a medium cookie scoop (2 Tablespoons.) Bake for 10-14 minutes or to desired doneness.

Step 6.

Let rest on the pan for about 3-5 minutes before placing on a cooling rack.
