Delicious Soft Chocolate Chip Butterscotch Cookies

In this instructable we will show you how to make delicious cookies that are soft with a hint of butterscotch.

First, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Then, cream together (mix until well combined- until a pale yellow) 1 cup of softened butter, 1 cup of white sugar, and 1 cup of packed brown sugar. If you don't like sweet cookies, instead of 1 cup of white sugar, put in half a cup of white sugar.

In the butter and sugar mixture, beat in 2 eggs one at a time, then stir in the butterscotch flavoring. Dissolve 1 teaspoon of baking soda in 2 teaspoons of hot water. Add to batter along with half (1/2) a teaspoons of salt. Stir in 3 cups of all-purpose flour and 2 cups of semisweet chocolate chips. Drop by large spoonfuls onto baking pans covered in aluminium foil.

Bake the cookies in the oven for about 10 - 15 minutes or until the edges are nicely browned. The result may look like a mess, but it's okay. Take the pan out with a towel or glove (so you don't get hurt). Next, cut the cookies out with a cup (you can choose any size). It will be cut quickly as they are soft cookies.

Your cookies are done. Take the cookies out after cooling them, and place the, on a plate or package them for friends. The remaining pieces on the baking pan can be eaten as small snack.
