These Rich Butterscotch Chocolate Cookies are thin, rich, and decadent with a perfect blend of chocolate and butterscotch chips. A delicious treat for chocolate lovers!
In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder; set aside.
Place the butter and the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and set aside.
Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl, add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract.
Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the mixture for 10 minutes or until pale and creamy.
Gradually stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture.
Fold in the melted chocolate mixture followed by the butterscotch chips. Let the dough stand for 10 minutes.
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until the tops are dry and cracked.
Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
