Step One

Before you get started make sure to pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees.

To get started, you want to get a stand mixer, your butter and your sugar. This stand mixer is super duper awesome. It is a little pricey, but it's heavy duty and can hold up to lots of batches of cookies. If you're looking for one a little less expensive, we also use this mixer as well and it works great.

Once your sugar and butter are in your mixing bowl, turn your stand mixer on to high and beat them together. You want to make sure that they are thoroughly and completely mixed, no butter chunks left over.

In order for your butter to thoroughly mix with your sugar you need to make sure that it is softened before you get started. To soften butter, the best way is to leave it on your counter for a few hours before use.

However, if you forgot to take your butter out or if you're in a rush you can pop it in the microwave for just a few seconds at a time until it is soft. Make sure to check frequently so that it does not start to melt.

Step Two

Now that you've thoroughly mixed your butter and sugar, you want to add in your other to wet ingredients. Break your eggs into your mixing bowl and also add your vanilla extract.

Turn your stand mixer on medium and mix all four ingredients together so that they are thoroughly combined.

Step Three

Next you want to get all of your dry ingredients mixed together as well. In a separate bowl from your wet ingredients place your flour salt and baking soda together. Gently stir them together until they are completely mixed.

Step Four

Now you want to come by and your dry ingredients and your wet ingredients. Very slowly add your dry ingredients into the mixing bowl with your wet ingredients

Once all of the dry ingredients have been added, you want to start to mix everything together. You can use your stand mixer on low to do this. Or you can mix them by hand.

Step Five

Here's where we add our butterscotch chips! Dump your butterscotch into your cookie dough. Then slowly with a spatula, fold the chips into your dough.

Step Six

Using a heaping tablespoon (about one-and-a-half tablespoons) place balls of cookie dough onto a non-stick or greased cookie sheet. You want to ensure that your balls of cookie dough are placed far enough apart that they won't run together as your cookies bake.

Step Seven

Place your baking sheet with all the cookie dough into your preheated oven. And set a timer for 8 minutes. Your cookies will take anywhere from 8 to 12 minutes to thoroughly cook. Times can range depending on size of cookies, altitude, and your oven.

Start checking your cookies after 8 minutes. Once you see crisp, slightly brown edges you can pull them out and let them cool.
