How to Make Awesome Butterscotch Shortbread
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and both sugars until light and fluffy. This is key for a tender crumb!
- Beat in the egg yolk and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
- Stir in the butterscotch chips.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them about 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
