Salted Butterscotch Cookies

These Salted Butterscotch Cookies are the complete package – crispy, chewy, sweet and salty!  The perfect butterscotch cookie recipe.

I am definitely a cookie kind of girl.  A fresh, warm cookie out of the oven is pretty much impossible for me to resist.  They are my favorite thing to bake and I’ll pick a warm cookie over just about any other baked good

Chocolate chip cookies are my favorite and I love paying around with different variations.  Today’s recipe for Salted Butterscotch Cookies is one of those variations.  I think butterscotch is an often overlooked flavor.  It was one of my dad’s favorites.  He loved anything butterscotch and these butterscotch cookies reminded me of him.  That made them taste even better I think.

Butterscotch chips are easy to find in the baking aisle along with the chocolate chips.  The addition of some flaky sea salt on top was the perfect finish to these cookies.  The texture of this cookie was perfect in my book.  Crispy around the edges and chewy in the middle, just like a cookie should be. My favorite salt to use for these can be found here.
