📝 Instructions:
Step 1: Prep the Oven
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3: Cream Butter and Sugars
In a large bowl, cream softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (2–3 minutes).
Step 4: Add Eggs and Vanilla
Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6: Fold in Chips
Gently fold in butterscotch chips, chocolate chips, and optional nuts.
Step 7: Scoop and Bake
Scoop dough (about 2 tablespoons per cookie) onto prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
Bake 10–12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden but centers remain soft.
Step 8: Cool
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
