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

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt (plus extra for sprinkling)

1 cup butterscotch chips

1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Sea salt for topping

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.

    Cream the Butter and Sugars: 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, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

          Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

            Fold in Butterscotch Chips and Walnuts: Gently fold in the butterscotch chips and chopped walnuts (if using), ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

              Scoop the Dough: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

                Sprinkle with Sea Salt: Before placing in the oven, lightly sprinkle each cookie with a pinch of sea salt for that perfect sweet-salty balance.

                  Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still look soft.

                    Cool and Enjoy: Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
