Salty Sweet Butterscotch Cookies Recipes

PEANUT BUTTER BUTTERSCOTCH COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and set side.
• In a large bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat butter and peanut butter until smooth and combined. Add both sugars and beat to combine. Beat in egg and vanilla extract. Add the flour mixture all at once and beat until just combined. Stir in about 2/3 cup of butterscotch chips (reserving the rest for topping the cookies).
• Scoop the dough into balls (I use a 1 1/2 tablespoon scoop), and place a couple inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Press a few of remaining butterscotch chips on top of the dough balls. Bake for 8-11 minutes, until the edges are light golden brown, but the center is still slightly underdone. Immediately sprinkle with sea salt, and place the sheets on wire racks to cool. Repeat with remaining dough, allowing the cookie sheets to cool COMPLETELY before placing dough on them.

• Lastly, mix in the potato chips and butterscotch chips.
• Scoop the dough into balls using a 1 1/2" cookie scoop and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
• Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
• Place dough balls 2" apart on a parchment lined baking sheet (or use a silicone baking mat). If you'd like, press a few extra butterscotch chips on the top of the dough balls which will make them look pretty after baking.
• Bake for about 11 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly brown around the edges.
• If you'd like the cookies to be perfectly round, use a large round cookie cutter (or a wide mouth mason jar ring) to place over the hot cookie. Use your hand to make quick circles on the pan, which will round out the cookie. You have to do this when the cookies is hot, so work quickly immediately after the cookies come out of the oven.
• Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 3-4 minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
