Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

3/4 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup butterscotch chips

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until it's light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).

      Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure even mixing.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined—do not overmix.

          Fold in Chips: Gently fold in the butterscotch chips, chocolate chips, and nuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

            Scoop the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

              Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden; the centers may appear a bit underbaked, which is perfect for that chewy texture.

                Cool: Remove from the oven and let sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Enjoy: Once cooled, enjoy your delicious butterscotch chocolate chip cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
