Butterscotch Cookies
Our Butterscotch Cookies are soft, chewy, buttery and full of butterscotch flavor.

Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- ¾ cup brown coconut sugar
- 1 large egg
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup Butterfinger candy crushed
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoon milk
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and brown coconut sugar with a electric hand mixer until light and fluffy.
- Mix in the egg and vanilla extract and beat until combined.
- Slowly beat in the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda and crushed Butterfinger candy. Mix until evenly combined.
- Add in the milk and slowly beat until mixed into the cookie dough.
- Using a spatula, fold in the butterscotch chips.
- Chill dough for 30-60 minutes (optional).
- Once chilled, heat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Divide dough into 18 cookies, about 2 tablespoons of cookie dough each. Bake for 7-9 minutes, or until the edges just begin to turn brown.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack before serving or storage container.
Notes
Store your white chocolate chip cookies at room temperature in a covered container for 2-3 days for optimal freshness. They can be frozen for up to 6 months. They defrost quickly on the counter, in just about an hour.
Tip 1: For thicker, more risen cookies chill the dough for at least one hour, up to 24 hours. For flatter cookies, bake immediately after mixing the dough.
Tip 2: Don't over bake the cookies or they will become dried out. The bottom edges should have just began to brown when you remove them from the oven.
