Ingredients
  

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

1 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup butterscotch chips

1/2 cup coarse sea salt (for topping)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

    Cream the Butters and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).

      Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

          Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

            Fold in Butterscotch Chips: Gently fold in the butterscotch chips with a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.

              Scoop the Dough: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.

                Sprinkle with Sea Salt: Just before baking, sprinkle a generous pinch of coarse sea salt on top of each cookie dough ball.

                  Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft.

                    Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
