Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, browned and cooled
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • Flaky sea salt, for topping

Instructions

  1. Add butter to a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir frequently until it foams, turns golden, and smells nutty. Pour browned butter into a large mixing bowl and let cool for 10 minutes.
  2. Add brown sugar and granulated sugar to the cooled butter. Whisk until smooth and glossy (about 1 minute).
  3. Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and fine sea salt.
  5. Slowly add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in butterscotch chips and chocolate chips using a spatula. If dough seems dry, add 1 tablespoon milk.
  7. Cover bowl and refrigerate for 20 minutes (up to 2 hours) for crispier cookies. Optional, but recommended.
  8. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  9. Scoop dough onto prepared sheets, spacing 2 inches apart (about 2 tablespoons or 35g per cookie).
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden and centers are just set.
  11. While cookies are hot, sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
  12. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to finish cooling.

Notes

For extra crispy cookies, bake one minute longer and cool fully on a wire rack. Chilling the dough helps prevent spreading and keeps cookies crisp. Use high-quality chips and flaky sea salt for best flavor. Cookies can be made gluten-free with a 1:1 flour blend or dairy-free with coconut oil. Store in an airtight container with a slice of bread to maintain crispness.
