Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine cold unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat on medium speed for 1-2 minutes until just combined.
  3. Add one large egg and vanilla extract, mixing on low speed until incorporated, about 30 seconds.
  4. Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add to the wet mixture until just combined.
  5. Fold in butterscotch and semisweet chocolate chips gently to retain a light texture.
  6. Drop cookie dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them 1-2 inches apart.
  7. Press a few extra chips into the tops for an enticing finish.
  8. Bake for 10-13 minutes until edges are lightly browned and centers look set but soft.
  9. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks, sprinkling with sea salt while warm.
