Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butterscotch chips
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and brown sugar. Mix thoroughly until the mixture becomes smooth and well-incorporated.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the peanut butter mixture. Stir until the ingredients are completely blended and the mixture becomes uniform.
- Sprinkle the baking soda over the mixture and mix well to ensure it is evenly distributed.
- Gently fold in the butterscotch chips and chocolate chips, stirring carefully to distribute them evenly throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Slightly flatten each cookie ball with the back of a fork, creating a crisscross pattern if desired.
- Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing and smoother dough consistency.
- Don't overmix the dough to keep cookies tender and prevent toughness.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform size and even baking.
- For extra flavor, lightly toast the butterscotch and chocolate chips before adding them to the dough.
- If the dough seems too sticky, refrigerate for 15-20 minutes before scooping.
- Allow cookies to cool completely to set their texture and enhance flavor development.
- For a decorative touch, reserve a few chocolate and butterscotch chips to press on top of each cookie before baking.
