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

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon sea salt (plus extra for topping)

1 cup butterscotch chips

1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Flaky sea salt, for finishing

Instructions
 

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

    Cream the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

      Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

        Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt.

          Combine the Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

            Fold in Chips and Nuts: Gently fold in the butterscotch chips and chopped pecans (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

              Scoop the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving enough space between each cookie to allow for spreading.

                Sprinkle with Flaky Sea Salt: Lightly sprinkle a few flakes of sea salt on top of each cookie dough ball before baking.

                  Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers look slightly underbaked. The cookies will firm up as they cool.

                    Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your delicious Salted Butterscotch Bliss Cookies warm or at room temperature!
