How to Make Chocolate Butterscotch Chip Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 3/4 cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Stir in 2 cups butterscotch chips (or your favorite mix-ins!).
  6. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft. The cookies will continue to bake slightly as they cool.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
