Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup honey roasted peanuts, chopped
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer. Beat until the mixture is light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chopped honey roasted peanuts and butterscotch chips using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set but still soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For best texture, consume within 2-3 days.
Tips
- Ensure your butter is truly softened but not melted - this creates the ideal creamy texture for your cookie dough.
- Don't overmix the flour mixture; mix just until ingredients are combined to keep cookies tender.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes, which guarantees even baking.
- Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes after removing from oven - this helps them set perfectly.
- For maximum freshness, store cookies in an airtight container and consume within 2-3 days.
- Experiment with slightly chilling the dough before baking for an even chewier texture.
- Use room temperature eggs for better ingredient incorporation and smoother dough.
