The Ultimate Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Cookies (With Sprinkle of Sea Salt 😍)

Okay, so… who doesn’t love warm, gooey cookies straight from the oven? Like, seriously. If you don’t, are you even a human? 😂 Anyway, I just made these butterscotch chocolate chip cookies and WOW, they’re my guilty pleasure! Like, I can’t stop eating them—also, my friends are kinda obsessed too.

Main dish photo — *The finished dish — looks amazing, right?*

Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients

Alright, so here’s the deal. You don’t need a million ingredients—just the essentials, ya know? You gotta grab:
– ½ cup of unsalted butter (Chill it in the fridge if you wanna be all fancy, but I’ve used it cold and it works too.)
– ¼ cup brown sugar (The darker, the better, right?)
– ½ cup granulated sugar (Sweetness overload!)
– 1 large egg (Eggs are life.)
– 1 tsp vanilla extract (Trust me, this is the magic!)
– 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (Measure it, don’t just dump it.)
– 1 tsp baking soda (For that lift, baby!)
– ½ tsp salt (Who doesn’t love a little salty with their sweet?)
– 1 cup butterscotch chips (My fave!)
– 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (Double the chocolate, double the fun!)
– Sea salt sprinkles (Just a pinch—that contrast is everything!)
– Optional: walnuts (I’m not a big nut person, but some peeps love ’em!)

So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly

Okay, real talk. I literally make these cookies whenever I need a pick-me-up or, like, when I’m just feeling *meh*. The first time I made them, my dog was giving me those puppy eyes while the dough was chilling (the dough is sooo good, by the way—totally sneak a bite). I baked ‘em, and my friends came over. They devoured them in like 5 minutes! I felt like a cookie wizard! 🧙‍♀️✨ Plus, every time I whip these up, the smell takes me back to my grandma’s kitchen where we used to bake together. ❤️

Another beautiful angle of the dish — *Just as gorgeous from this angle too!*

The One Trick That Changes Everything

Listen, the secret is *not* overmixing the dough. Like, mix just until you see everything combined. If you go all crazy and mix it like you’re whipping cream, you’ll end up with tough cookies. No bueno! Just stir it gently and let the magic do its thing!

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)

– Seriously, don’t skip the sea salt on top! It’s like the cherry on top of a sundae, but way cooler.
– Check the cookies early! Bake for 10 minutes? Nah, check ‘em at 8. You want ‘em a little soft in the middle. They’ll harden up as they cool, I promise!
– If you’re feeling frisky, add some extra chocolate chips on top before they go in the oven. More chocolate = more happiness.

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)

Okay, here’s the trick. If you want these cookies to last (which, let’s be real, they probably won’t), let them cool completely and then store them in an airtight container. They’ll stay soft and chewy for like 3 days (if they even make it that long). But pro tip: pop ‘em in the microwave for 10 seconds when you wanna eat one again. That’s the *real* way to have a cookie party!

If You Liked This, You’ll Probably Like These Too

If you’re into cookies like I am (and let’s face it, who isn’t?), you should totally try my:
– Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies (seriously addictive)
– Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies (like a hug in cookie form)
– Snickerdoodles (cinnamon sugar goodness, OMG)

So, what do you think? Are you gonna make these cookies, or are you just gonna stare at the screen? 😂 Let me know if you do! I wanna see your cookie pics! 🍪❤️
