YUMMY CHOCOLATE BUTTERSCOTCH
COOKIES
 
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter (at room temperature)
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 eggs, slightly beaten
2 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
2 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup butterscotch chips

Preheat oven to 375°F. You will need a sifter. beater or KitchenAid, two bowls to sift the flour into (or one if you are only sifting once), a little bowl to put the slightly beaten eggs and vanilla in, cookie scoop, parchment paper, baking sheets, teaspoons and measuring cups. I use a KitchenAid but you can also use a hand mixer.

I cut up the room temperature butter into small pieces and place them in a bowl along with the brown sugar and white sugar. Mix as well as you can. It doesn't have to be perfectly blended.

Add the 2 slightly beaten eggs and vanilla. Blend again until you get a nice blended batter.

Sift the flour, salt and baking powder. I sift the ingredients twice. You don't have to though, once is fine. Add to the mixture you made with the butter, sugars, eggs and vanilla. Beat or use your KitchenAid until it makes a nice thick dough. I hate sticky dough!

Add half a cup of chocolate chips and half a cup of butterscotch chips. Blend again but not too much so you don't break the chips.

Put parchment paper on 2 baking sheets. Spoon out about 1-inch (or a bit larger) dough balls and place on the baking sheet.

Bake at 375°F for 10 minutes. Oven temps will vary.

Note: The cookies will dome up, not flatten out.

Let cookies cool then transfer them to a plate.

Makes over 2 dozen cookies.

Enjoy!
