Ingredients

  • 1 stick softened butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups smooth peanut butter
  • 1 cup melted butterscotch chips
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
  • Melt butterscotch chips over a double boiler until melted.
  • Add melted butterscotch chips and peanut butter to beaten butter and sugars.
  • Beat in egg and vanilla.
  • Place flour, baking soda and salt in bowl; mix to combine. 
  • Add to wet ingredients until just combined then pour in butterscotch chips. 
  • Using a cookie scoop, scoop dough, roll in sugar then place onto baking sheet. Press tops with tines of a fork if desired. I did it both ways and both are great. 
  • Bake for 9-11 minutes or until cookies are cooked through. Remove and let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to cooling rack.
