Oatmeal Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Cookies

Zero fuss, maximum reward. These oatmeal butterscotch chocolate chip cookies are the chewy, hearty, cinnamon-spiced mash-up your cookie jar’s been begging for. Grab a bowl and get ready to #bakeitright.

Serving: 24 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 12 minutes

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
1 ½ cups premium rolled oats (not quick-cook)

Wet Ingredients

1 cup unsalted European-style butter (browned and cooled)
¾ cup packed dark brown sugar
¼ cup granulated sugar
2 large pasture-raised eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Mix-Ins

1 cup high-quality butterscotch chips
1 cup dark chocolate chips (60% cacao)

Instructions

Brown the butter: melt 1 cup unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, swirling occasionally. Cook until the milk solids turn golden brown and the butter smells nutty, about 5–7 minutes. Immediately pour into a heatproof bowl and let cool completely (about 15 minutes).
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the cooled browned butter, ¾ cup brown sugar, and ¼ cup granulated sugar. Beat with a wooden spoon until smooth and well combined, about 1 minute.
Add 2 beaten eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Stir until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until no streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix.
Fold in 1 ½ cups rolled oats, 1 cup butterscotch chips, and 1 cup chocolate chips until evenly distributed. Tip: For picture-perfect cookies, press a few extra chips onto the surface of each dough ball before baking.
Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough (or use a 1.5-tablespoon cookie scoop) and space them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. For thicker, chewier cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking—this deepens the flavor, too.
Bake one sheet at a time for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are golden and the centers are still soft and puffed. Do not overbake; they will continue to set on the pan.
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Now this is a cookie worth craving. The edges are crisp, the centers are chewy, and every bite delivers a double hit of butterscotch and dark chocolate, all wrapped in warm cinnamon. Crumble one over vanilla ice cream for an instant sundae upgrade—or just grab a glass of cold milk and enjoy.

Double Chip Peanut Butter Cookies

Grab your mixer and let's bake the ultimate double chip peanut butter cookies. Buttery, nutty, and loaded with butterscotch and chocolate chips, these are soft and irresistible.

Serving: 24 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 12 minutes

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted European-style butter, softened
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (no sugar added)
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 pasture-raised egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

Mix-ins

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (60% cacao)
1/2 cup butterscotch chips

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and both sugars together with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Tip: Use room-temperature butter for better creaminess.
Add the creamy peanut butter, lightly beaten egg, and vanilla extract. Beat until fully combined, scraping down the sides as needed.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and fine sea salt.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed just until no streaks of flour remain. Avoid overmixing to keep cookies tender.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips and butterscotch chips using a spatula until evenly distributed.
Chill the dough for 20 minutes in the refrigerator. This prevents spreading and enhances flavor.
Scoop rounded tablespoons (about 1.5 inches) of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. Tip: Use a cookie scoop for uniform size and even baking.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through, until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked. Let cool on the sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Crunchy on the edges, soft and chewy in the center — these cookies are a textural dream. Serve them warm with a glass of cold milk or crumbled over vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert.

Gluten-Free Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Cookies

Here’s a cookie that doesn’t compromise—crispy edges, chewy centers, and a double hit of butterscotch and chocolate. Gluten-free never tasted this good.

Serving: 24 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 12 minutes

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

1 ¾ cups (245g) high-quality gluten-free flour blend (e.g., Cup4Cup)
1 teaspoon xanthan gum (omit if blend includes it)
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon fine sea salt

Wet Ingredients

½ cup (113g) unsalted European-style butter, softened to room temperature
½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
½ cup (110g) packed light brown sugar
1 pasture-raised large egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Mix-Ins

½ cup (85g) butterscotch chips
½ cup (85g) semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, xanthan gum (if using), baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 2: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Scrape down the sides.
Step 3: Add the beaten egg and vanilla extract; mix on low until just combined—don’t overmix.
Step 4: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing on low until a soft dough forms. Fold in butterscotch and chocolate chips evenly.
Step 5: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes. This prevents spreading and enhances flavor. *Tip: Chilling also makes the dough easier to scoop.*
Step 6: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 7: Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough (about 1.5 tablespoons each) and place 2 inches apart on the prepared sheets. *Tip: Slightly flatten each ball with your palm for even baking.*
Step 8: Bake for 10-12 minutes, rotating pans halfway through, until edges are golden brown and centers look slightly underdone. *Tip: For chewier cookies, pull them out when the edges are set but the middle still looks soft.*
Step 9: Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Result: golden-edged cookies with a tender crumb, where butterscotch adds a deep caramelized sweetness balancing the dark chocolate. Serve with a cold glass of oat milk—or crumble over vanilla ice cream for an indulgent sundae.

Salted Caramel Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Cookies

Viral-worthy and bakery-brave: these cookies pack a triple threat of salted caramel, butterscotch, and chocolate chips. One bite and you’ll get a gooey center with salty crunch on top.

Serving: 24 | Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cooking Time: 12 minutes

Ingredients

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 cup unsalted butter (for browning)
1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 pasture-raised egg, lightly beaten
1 pasture-raised egg yolk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup butterscotch chips
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Flaky sea salt, for topping

Instructions

Brown the butter: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, swirling occasionally until it turns deep golden brown and smells nutty, about 5-7 minutes. Immediately pour into a heatproof bowl and let cool for 10 minutes.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and fine sea salt.
In a large bowl, combine the browned butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat with an electric mixer on medium until well blended, about 2 minutes.
Add the beaten egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract; beat until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low just until combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the butterscotch chips and chocolate chips until evenly distributed. Tip: For extra gooey centers, press a few extra chips onto the tops of the dough balls later.
Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 72 hours). Chilling deepens the flavor and prevents spreading.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Scoop rounded tablespoon-sized balls of dough (about 1.5 tablespoons each) and place 2 inches apart on the prepared sheets. Tip: Use a #40 cookie scoop for uniform cookies.
Gently press a few extra chocolate and butterscotch chips onto the tops of each dough ball, then sprinkle each with a pinch of flaky sea salt.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through, until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft and puffed. They will look underbaked; that's the key to a gooey center.
Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. The residual heat will finish setting the centers.

Zoom in on the glossy top and flecks of sea salt — that’s your cue to dunk in cold milk or eat warm with vanilla ice cream. These cookies are addictive perfection.

Skip the basic cookie routine—these White Chocolate Macadamia Butterscotch Chip Cookies are engineered for maximum crunch and sweet-salty depth. Browned butter meets a triple hit of chips and nuts for a texture that shatters then melts.

Serving: 24 | Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cooking Time: 14 minutes

Ingredients

1 cup (2 sticks) European-style unsalted butter, browned and cooled to room temperature
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large pasture-raised eggs, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons high-quality vanilla bean paste
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 cup white chocolate feves or roughly chopped white chocolate chunks
1 cup raw macadamia nuts, roughly chopped
1/2 cup butterscotch chips
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Brown the butter: In a light-colored saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, swirling frequently, until it turns golden brown and smells nutty (about 5–7 minutes). Pour into a heatproof bowl and let cool to room temperature—at least 20 minutes. (Tip: Watch closely—burnt butter ruins the flavor.)
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the cooled browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Stir vigorously until smooth and well combined, about 1 minute. Add the eggs and vanilla paste; mix until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding with a rubber spatula just until no streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix.
Fold in the white chocolate chunks, macadamia nuts, butterscotch chips, and chocolate chips until evenly distributed. (Tip: Reserve a few chips to press onto dough balls after scooping for a picture-perfect top.)
Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes (or up to 24 hours). This prevents spreading and deepens flavor. (Tip: Chilled dough yields thicker, chewier cookies.)
Scoop rounded 1.5-tablespoon portions of dough and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Gently press a few reserved chips into the tops if desired.
Bake one sheet at a time for 12–14 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. (Tip: Underbake slightly—the cookies will set as they cool.)
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Undeniably crunchy around the edges with a soft, chewy center, these cookies hit every texture note. Serve with a cold glass of milk or crumble over vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert that begs for repeat bakes.

Serving: 16 | Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp fine sea salt

Wet Ingredients

½ cup unsalted butter, melted and browned
¾ cup packed dark brown sugar
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 large pasture-raised egg, lightly beaten

Mini Skillet Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Cookie

Why settle for a single cookie when you can have your own mini skillet of pure gooey bliss? These individual cast iron cookies pair butterscotch and chocolate chips for a rich, buttery indulgence that bakes up in minutes—perfect for satisfying that sweet tooth without sharing.

Serving: 4 | Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 14 minutes

Ingredients

1/2 cup high-quality unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
1/2 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large pasture-raised egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, unbleached
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 cup butterscotch chips
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly butter four 5-inch mini cast iron skillets (or spray with nonstick cooking spray).
In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and glossy. (Tip: Let the melted butter cool to just warm—too hot and it'll cook the egg.)
Add the lightly beaten egg and vanilla extract, stirring until fully incorporated. The mixture should look creamy and slightly thickened.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and fine sea salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix—stop as soon as no streaks of flour remain. (Tip: Overworking the dough leads to tough cookies.)
Gently fold in the butterscotch chips and semisweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed. For extra gooeyness, press a few extra chips onto the top of each skillet later.
Divide the dough evenly among the prepared skillets (about 1/3 cup per skillet). Press the dough into an even layer. (Tip: If the dough is too sticky, chill for 10 minutes for easier handling.)
Bake for 12–14 minutes, rotating the skillets halfway through. The edges should be golden brown and set, while the centers still look slightly soft and puffy. (Tip: For a softer, more underbaked texture, pull them at 12 minutes.)
Let the skillets cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes—the residual heat will continue to set the center while keeping it gooey. Serve warm.

Dive in with a spoon while it’s still warm—the butterscotch and chocolate melt into luscious pockets of pure decadence. Top with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream for an extra indulgence that’ll have everyone begging for their own skillet.

Serving: 12 | Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cooking Time: 12 minutes

Ingredients

For the Cookies

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

For Assembly

1.5 quarts premium vanilla ice cream, slightly softened

Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Add beaten eggs and vanilla extract; mix until just combined, scraping down sides as needed.
Gradually add flour mixture to wet ingredients, mixing on low until no streaks remain. Do not overmix.
Fold in butterscotch chips and chocolate chips using a rubber spatula.
Chill dough in refrigerator for 30 minutes—this prevents spreading and ensures thick cookies.

Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers are still soft. Tip: For chewy cookies, rotate pans halfway through and underbake slightly.
Let cookies cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Cool cookies are essential to prevent melting the ice cream.
Once cookies are completely cool, scoop about 1/3 cup slightly softened vanilla ice cream onto the flat side of one cookie.
Top with a second cookie, flat side down, and gently press to create a sandwich. Repeat with remaining cookies and ice cream.
Place sandwiches on a tray and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving to set the ice cream. Tip: Wrap individually in plastic wrap for easy grab-and-go treats.

With a crisp, buttery bite that gives way to gooey chips and creamy ice cream, these sandwiches are a textural dream. Serve them straight from the freezer on a hot afternoon, or drizzle with warm butterscotch sauce for an extra-indulgent dessert.

½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp kosher salt
½ cup European-style unsalted butter, softened
½ cup light brown sugar, packed
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 pasture-raised egg, lightly beaten
½ cup pure pumpkin puree
1 tsp vanilla bean paste
½ cup butterscotch chips
½ cup semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the beaten egg, pumpkin puree, and vanilla paste; mix until just combined—don’t overmix.
Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until no streaks of flour remain. Gently fold in butterscotch and chocolate chips.
Chill the dough for 15 minutes (tip: this prevents spreading and deepens flavor).
Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with your palm.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are set and centers look slightly soft. Cool on sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
For extra gooey cookies, press a few extra chips onto tops right out of the oven (tip: this gives bakery-style look).

A soft, cake-like interior with crisp edges and pockets of melted butterscotch and chocolate—these cookies are fall in a bite. Serve them warm with a cold glass of oat milk, or crumble over vanilla ice cream for an indulgent sundae.

Toffee Crunch Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Cookies

Preheat your oven and prepare for the ultimate cookie upgrade. These Toffee Crunch Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Cookies deliver a triple threat: butterscotch sweetness, dark chocolate bitterness, and toffee crunch. Brown butter deepens the caramel vibe, while toffee bits add a shatteringly crisp texture.

Serving: 24 | Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cooking Time: 12 minutes

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted European-style butter, softened
1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 pasture-raised large egg, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup butterscotch chips
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup toffee bits (e.g., Heath bar pieces)
Flaky sea salt for garnish (optional)

Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and sea salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. (Tip: For deeper flavor, brown the butter first: melt it in a pan over medium heat until golden and nutty, then cool to room temperature before creaming.)
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat on low until just combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low until no flour streaks remain. Do not overmix.
Fold in the butterscotch chips, chocolate chips, and toffee bits using a spatula until evenly distributed.
Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 48 hours). Chilling prevents spreading and deepens the flavors.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Scoop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough (about 1.5 ounces each) and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared sheets. (Tip: Use a light-colored baking sheet for even browning.)
Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are golden but the centers still look slightly soft. The cookies will continue setting as they cool. (Tip: Rotate the sheet halfway through for uniform baking.)
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt while still warm if desired.

Each bite delivers a symphony of crunchy toffee, silky butterscotch, and rich chocolate—a buttery caramel flavor bomb. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla gelato for an unforgettable dessert, or stack them on a platter for a showstopping cookie plate.

Peppermint White Chocolate Butterscotch Chip Cookies

Want the most festive cookie of the season? These Peppermint White Chocolate Butterscotch Chip Cookies pack triple the crunch and triple the flavor. Crushed candy cane meets creamy white chocolate, rich butterscotch, and dark chocolate chunks for a holiday showstopper.

Serving: 24 | Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cooking Time: 12 minutes

Ingredients

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 large pasture-raised eggs, lightly beaten
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
1/2 cup butterscotch chips
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup crushed peppermint candy canes

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Add eggs and vanilla; beat until combined, scraping down sides as needed.
Gradually add flour mixture, mixing on low until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
Fold in white chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and crushed peppermint until evenly distributed. Tip: Chill dough for 30 minutes to prevent spreading for thicker cookies.
Scoop 1.5-tablespoon portions onto prepared sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Use a cookie scoop for uniform size.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are golden brown and centers are still soft. Tip: Rotate pans halfway through for even baking.
Let cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Tip: For gooey centers, remove from oven when edges are just set—carryover heat will finish baking.

Once baked, these cookies are crisp around the edges and chewy in the middle, with pockets of melted white chocolate and butterscotch. The peppermint adds a refreshing finish. Serve them with a tall glass of cold milk or alongside a latte for the ultimate holiday treat.

Serving: 18 | Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cooking Time: 12 minutes

Ingredients

Cookie Dough

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large pasture-raised egg, lightly beaten
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp kosher salt

Filling

1/2 cup Nutella (hazelnut spread), chilled

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.

Place stuffed dough balls 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Bake for 12 minutes, until edges are golden brown and centers are still slightly soft (tip: underbake slightly for a chewy texture).
Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Nothing beats the surprise of molten Nutella in a perfectly chewy cookie. Serve warm with a glass of cold milk for an unforgettable treat.

Almond Flour Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ditch the regular flour—these grain-free cookies are about to become your new obsession. Almond flour gives them a soft, nutty base while butterscotch and dark chocolate chips create pockets of gooey sweetness. Ready in under 30 minutes, they're the perfect chewy-crisp treat.

Serving: 20 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 12 minutes

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

2 cups finely ground almond flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

Wet Ingredients

1/2 cup grass-fed unsalted butter, browned and cooled
1/2 cup coconut sugar
1 large pasture-raised egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Mix-ins & Topping

1/2 cup butterscotch chips
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (70% cacao)
Flaky sea salt, for finishing

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking soda, and fine sea salt.
In a separate large bowl, combine browned butter and coconut sugar; beat with a wooden spoon until well blended.
Add beaten egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, stirring until smooth.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a soft dough forms. Tip: Don't overmix—almond flour dough is delicate.
Gently fold in butterscotch chips and dark chocolate chips, reserving a few for topping.
Chill dough in refrigerator for 20–30 minutes to firm up; this prevents excessive spread. Tip: Chilling is key for thicker cookies.
Scoop dough into 1.5-tablespoon rounds and place 2 inches apart on prepared sheet. Press a few reserved chips onto each mound.
Bake for 11–13 minutes, until edges are golden and centers appear slightly underdone. Tip: Underbake for soft interiors—they'll set as they cool.
Immediately sprinkle with flaky sea salt, then let cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Fudgy centers, crisp edges, and that addictive butterscotch-chocolate punch make these cookies dangerously snackable. Serve with a cold glass of oat milk or crumble over vanilla ice cream for an elevated dessert. Store in an airtight container—if they last that long.

Maple Bacon Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Cookies

A cross between a campfire treat and your favorite bakery cookie, these maple bacon butterscotch chocolate chip cookies deliver smoky-sweet chaos in every bite. Crispy candied bacon bits, gooey butterscotch, and dark chocolate chunks collide in a soft, chewy base. Grab your mixer—this is the only cookie recipe you'll need this year.

Serving: 24 | Prep Time: 30 minutes | Cooking Time: 12 minutes

Ingredients

6 slices thick-cut bacon
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup, divided
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 cup unsalted butter, browned and cooled to room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
2 large pasture-raised eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup (additional)
1 cup butterscotch chips
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Make candied bacon: Place a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet. Arrange bacon slices in a single layer. Brush with 2 tablespoons maple syrup and sprinkle evenly with brown sugar. Bake for 20–25 minutes until deeply caramelized and crispy. Transfer to a cutting board; let cool completely, then chop into fine bits.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, combine browned butter, granulated sugar, and dark brown sugar. Whisk vigorously until smooth and slightly lightened, about 1 minute.
Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each. Whisk in vanilla and remaining 2 tablespoons maple syrup.
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture with a rubber spatula until just combined—do not overmix.
Fold in butterscotch chips, chocolate chips, and chopped candied bacon until evenly distributed.
Chill the dough for 30 minutes (this prevents spreading and deepens the maple flavor).
Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough (about 2 tablespoons each) onto prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Edges should be golden brown and centers still soft and slightly puffed.
Let cookies cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Like a fireside s'more collided with a stack of maple-glazed bacon, these cookies nail every crave-worthy note: smoky, salty, sweet, and chewy. Let them cool completely if you can resist—or go full decadent and sandwich them with vanilla ice cream for an unforgettable dessert.
