Butterscotch Cookies
If you're looking for the best soft Butterscotch Cookie recipe, these cookies are about to become your new favorite. They're perfectly soft, chewy and parched with rich butterscotch flavor- made even better with coconut sugar, butterscotch chips and crunchy crushed Butterfinger candy.
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup brown coconut sugar
- 1 large egg
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup Butterfinger candy, crushed
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoon milk
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and brown coconut sugar with a electric hand mixer until light and fluffy.
- Mix in the egg and vanilla extract and beat until combined.
- Slowly beat in the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda and crushed Butterfinger candy. Mix until evenly combined.
- Add in the milk and slowly beat until mixed into the cookie dough.
- Using a spatula, fold in the butterscotch chips.
- Chill dough for 30-60 minutes.
- Once chilled, heat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Divide dough into 18 cookies, about 2 tablespoons of cookie dough each. Bake for 7-9 minutes, or until the edges just begin to turn brown.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack before serving or storage container.
Notes
Store your white chocolate chip cookies at room temperature in a covered container for 2-3 days for optimal freshness. They can be frozen for up to 6 months. They defrost quickly on the counter, in just about an hour.
Tip 1: For thicker, more risen cookies chill the dough for at least one hour, up to 24 hours. For flatter cookies, bake immediately after mixing the dough.
Tip 2: Don't over bake the cookies or they will become dried out. The bottom edges should have just began to brown when you remove them from the oven.
