Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup butterscotch chips

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. This step is crucial for texture, so don’t rush it!

Add Eggs and Vanilla: Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add vanilla extract and blend until combined.

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Fold in Chips and Nuts: Gently fold in the butterscotch chips, chocolate chips, and chopped pecans if using. This will ensure even distribution of the deliciousness.

Scoop the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.

Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers might look a little underbaked, but they will continue to cook as they cool down.

Cool and Enjoy: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy these mouthwatering cookies warm or at room temperature!
