Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup butterscotch chips

1/2 cup sea salt flakes (for sprinkling)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer.

      Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.

        Mix 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 Butterscotch Chips: Gently fold in the butterscotch chips with a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

            Scoop the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoons, drop rounded dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

              Sprinkle with Sea Salt: Lightly sprinkle each cookie dough ball with sea salt flakes to enhance the flavor.

                Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers look slightly underbaked.

                  Cool: Remove from the oven and let them sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Serve and Enjoy: Once cooled, enjoy these delightful cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
