Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 ½ cups butterscotch chips
- 1 8 oz. bag of English toffee bits
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes on medium speed). Add vanilla extract and eggs and continue beating on high speed for about 5 minutes longer, occasionally scraping down the sides of the mixing bowl. Your dough should be noticeably lighter in color and very fluffy.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt.
- Add the flour mixture to the butter/sugar mixture by the spoonful, mixing on low speed, and incorporating each flour addition until all has been combined.
- Beat in the butterscotch chips and the toffee pieces, just until combined
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line baking sheets with parchment paper or spray with nonstick baking spray.
- Use a cookie scoop to form balls from the dough and space 2” apart on a greased cookie sheet.
- Bake for 9-10 minutes, until the cookies are spread evenly across the top and are lightly golden brown around the bottom edges.
- Transfer cookies to a cooling rack and allow to cool.

Notes
Recipe Tips for Butterscotch Cookies:
- It is important to cream together the butter and sugars and then continue beating after the eggs and vanilla are added. This ensures that the dough holds its shape during baking and the butter doesn’t separate and melt - turning the cookies into flat crispy puddles.
- If you’d like, add a few butterscotch chips and/or toffee bits to the tops of the cookies as soon as they come out of the oven for a “pretty” cookie that tells everyone exactly what’s inside.
