Delicious Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Cookies
These butterscotch chocolate chip cookies are a lovely mix of sweet and familiar flavors. You get the soft, chewy texture you want in a cookie, with the added warmth of butterscotch.
They’re easy to make and a fun way to try something a little different from your usual chocolate chip cookie. You will love them! 
Key Ingredients & Tips for Butterscotch Cookies
- Brown Sugar Power: Using more brown sugar than white sugar helps make these cookies extra soft and chewy. Don’t skip it!
- Don’t Overmix the Batter: Once you add the flour, mix just until you don’t see dry streaks anymore. Overmixing can make cookies tough.
What You Need for Butterscotch Cookies
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
⏱️ Time: 25 minutes🍽️ Yields: About 24 cookies
How to Make Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Cookies
Step 1: Get Ready to Bake
First, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Then, line a few baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this dry mix aside.
Step 2: Cream Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter with both the granulated sugar and brown sugar until it’s light and fluffy. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each is fully mixed before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 3: Combine and Add Chips
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Once the dough comes together, gently fold in both the butterscotch chips and the chocolate chips until they are evenly spread throughout the dough.
Step 4: Bake Your Cookies
Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto your prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between them. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers still look soft. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
📝 Final Note for Butterscotch Cookies
For a richer butterscotch flavor, you can toast the butterscotch chips lightly in a dry pan before adding them to the dough.

Key Ingredients & Tips for Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Room Temperature Butter: Make sure your butter is soft but not melted. This helps it cream with the sugars better for a light, airy dough.
- Chill the Dough: If you have time, chilling the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes (or even overnight) helps the flavors meld and makes the cookies thicker and chewier.
