Level: Easy
Total: 45 min
Active: 25 min
Yield: about 48 cookies

Ingredients

  1. 1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter
  2. 1 cup granulated sugar
  3. 3/4 cup brown sugar
  4. 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  5. 2 large eggs
  6. 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  7. 1 teaspoon baking soda
  8. 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for garnish
  9. 1 cup butterscotch chips
  10. 1 cup pecans, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Place the butter in a small saute pan and place over medium heat. Completely melt the butter, then cook until the butter is brown and smells nutty, an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Take off the heat and allow to cool.
  3. Place the granulated sugar and brown sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer. Pour in the cooled butter and beat on low to medium speed until smooth and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the vanilla extract and eggs and continue to beat on low until the mixture is combined.
  4. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt in a separate bowl and slowly incorporate into the batter a little at a time. Beat until smooth. Fold in the butterscotch chips and pecans.
  5. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Using a 1-ounce scoop or a tablespoon measure, portion out the cookie dough, leaving 2 inches between each cookie. Sprinkle the cookies with salt and bake until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.

These cookies are sooooooooooooooo good….will be making them again….However, need to say that since I was short on a couple of items, I used 1/2 each choc chips and butterscotch chips….ALSO used sliced almonds in place of pecans since I was out of those….otherwise so good…….Terry
