Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

3/4 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 large eggs

2 1/4 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 nuts (optional, walnuts or pecans work great)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

    Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes). You can use an electric mixer or whisk it by hand.

      Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, add the vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

          Mix Dry Ingredients into Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to over mix.

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

              Scoop the Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough (about 2 tablespoons each) onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie to allow for spreading.

                Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft. Remove them from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

                  Enjoy: Once cooled, indulge in the warm, gooey cookies. These best-ever butterscotch chocolate chip cookies are perfect with a glass of milk or your favorite hot beverage!
