Ingredients

• 1 cup butterscotch chips
• 1 cup pecans, chopped
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the creamed ingredients, mixing until just combined without overworking the dough.
6. Gently fold in the butterscotch chips and chopped pecans, ensuring even distribution throughout the dough.
7. Drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown.
9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes to firm up before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
