Whether you’re baking for a crowd or treating yourself, these cookies are sure to become a go-to favorite.
Ingredients:
1 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butterscotch chips
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat until creamy and smooth.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the mixture and continue to beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until fully incorporated.
Gently fold in the butterscotch and chocolate chips.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
Using the tines of a fork, gently press down on each cookie ball to create a crisscross pattern.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden. Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies soft.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Helpful Tips:
- For an extra flavor boost, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the cookies before baking.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.
- If you prefer chunkier cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
Conclusion:
These peanut butter, butterscotch, and chocolate cookies are a sweet symphony of flavors and textures, combining creamy, buttery richness with melty chocolate and a hint of caramel from the butterscotch. Perfect for any occasion, they’ll disappear as quickly as you can bake them!
