Equipment
- Digital kitchen scale
- Stand mixer or hand mixer and a large mixing bowl or a metal whisk and a bowl
- Rubber spatula
- Parchment paper
Ingredients
- 200 g bread flour
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 80 g unsalted butter at room temperature
- 100 g white granulated sugar
- 35 g brown sugar
- 1 medium egg at room temperature
- 50 g butterscotch sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 175C (350F) and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer (or use a mixing bowl and a hand mixer), add the butter and white and brown sugar. Beat on medium for 1-2 minutes until it resembles a homogenous paste, scraping the sides and the bottom of the bowl in the middle of the process. DO NOT beat the butter until fluffy.
- Then, add the egg and beat until fully incorporated and the mixture has emulsified.
- Add the butterscotch sauce and beat until incorporated.
- Add the dry mixture and mix on low just until no dry ingredients are left.
- Scoop out 14 cookie dough balls (approximately 35g each) on a baking sheet, leaving a 2” (5cm) distance in between.
- Bake in batches for 12-13 minutes, or until the cookies have spread, and become golden on the edges.
- Remove from the oven and drop the tray on a flat surface to deflate the cookies. Let them cool down for 10 minutes on the tray. After, transfer onto a cooling rack to cool down completely.
