Chocolate Butterscotch Chip Cookies
I. Ingredients:
3 tablespoons of butter
1 cup of bittersweet chocolate chips (I use Ghiradelli 60% Cocoa Bittersweet Chips)
2 eggs
1/2 cup of sugar
2 teaspoons of vanilla
1/4 cup of flour
1/4 teaspoon of baking powder
1 cup of butterscotch chips
II. Preparation:
1. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a microwavable bowl, place chocolate chips and butter. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, stir chocolate and butter and repeat. If the mixture isn't melted, microwave in 15 second intervals until smooth. Allow to come to room temperature.
3. Using a mixer, place eggs, sugar and vanilla into bowl and beat until the mixture begins to turn a pale or light yellow. About 10 minutes on medium speed.
4. Add the flour and baking powder and mix on slow until well incorporated.
5. Remove the bowl from the mixer and fold in the chocolate mixture. Once the two are combined, add the butterscotch chips.
6. Allow the cookie dough to sit for 10 minutes.
7. Place parchment paper on the cookie tray (you will need three trays) and put a rounded tablespoonful of cookie dough 2 inches apart. I placed 8 cookies per tray.
8. Bake cookies for 9-11 minutes or until they are dry and the tops begin to crack.
9. Remove from oven and allow the cookies to cool on the trays. Peel from the parchment paper.
10. This recipe makes about 2 dozen cookies. Place in air-tight container.
