Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
Sugars & Sweeteners
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup white sugar
Mix-ins
- 3/4 cup butterscotch chips
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Begin by measuring out all your ingredients and preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C). Soften the butter at room temperature for easier mixing.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together until smooth and creamy, creating a fluffy base for the dough.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Mix in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. This step ensures your cookies will have that rich, luscious flavor.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, salt, and oats together. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in Chocolate and Butterscotch Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips and butterscotch chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dough for bursts of sweetness in every bite.
- Portion and Bake: Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them comfortably apart. Bake for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn a beautiful golden brown.
- Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a rack. This resting time helps the cookies set just right.
Notes
- Chill Your Dough: Refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes to prevent spreading and enhance flavor melding.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh baking soda and quality chips ensure the best rise and flavor.
- Don’t Overmix: Stir dry and wet ingredients until just combined to keep your cookies tender.
- Line Your Baking Sheet: Use parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy cookie removal and less mess.
- Watch the Bake Time: Pull cookies out when edges are set but centers remain soft for a perfect chewy texture.
