Instructions
Place the unsalted butter into a shallow skillet or pan and melt over medium heat. Continuously stir the melted butter and allow it to brown, about 3 to 5 minutes. NOTE: The browned butter will have a nutty aroma, become dark yellow in color, and the sediments will settle and become brown. Remove from heat and immediately pour the browned butter into a heat safe bowl to stop it from browning even more. Allow it to cool for 15 to 30 minutes before using. Preheat oven to 350 °F and line baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper. Set aside. To a small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. To a large bowl add the slightly cooled browned butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Whisk for 2 to 3 minutes until smooth and very well incorporated. NOTE: Under whisking the browned butter and sugar will create a grainy textured cookie. Add the egg and vanilla extract, whisk until smooth and well incorporated. Add the dry ingredients (all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt). Fold together with a spatula until incorporated. Add and fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and butterscotch chips. NOTE: The dough will be slightly wet but not sticky at all. Using your hands, roll 2 tablespoons of the cookie dough into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet and slightly press them down to form thick disks. Bake for 7 to 9 minutes or until slightly golden brown around the edges. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to continue baking and cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes. OPTIONAL: Sprinkle with flaky sea salt while they are still warm. Remove the Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Cookies and place them on a cooling rack to cool completely.View original recipe
