Best Ever Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Cookies

You know when I find a recipe that calls itself the best ever I have to try it and see if it is true.  Best ever... I'm not sure about that but they are very good. Butterscotch and chocolate are a classic combination. They are packed full of chips and very good when they are warm from the oven. 

I know you can smell them.
 

These cookies start with a basic cookie dough. 

Start with 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup sugar.

1 stick softened butter.  Mix the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. 

Add 1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla. This is vanilla paste.  Mix well.

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour.  Add a little at a time and mix well. 

Add up to 1 cup butterscotch chips and 1 cup semisweet chips.  The butterscotch chips are pretty sweet so you may want to add less.  It's a lot of chips so mix well. 

I put the dough in the fridge for a few minutes to just firm up some before scooping. 

Scoop dough onto a parchment lined cookie sheet.  I made small cookies but you can make them larger.  Place in a preheated 350 oven.  Depending on size of the cookies bake 6-10 minutes.  Let them cool for about 5 minutes if you can wait that long. 

Enjoy at least one fresh and warm from the oven.
