Ingredients

• 1/2 cup (softened) Unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup Brown sugar
• 1/4 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 1 1/4 cup All-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp Baking soda
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 3/4 cup Butterscotch chips
• 2 tbsp (reduced to a syrup) Cream soda (optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.

3. 3

   Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture, and continue to beat until well combined.

4. 4

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

5. 5

   Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.

6. 6

   Fold in the butterscotch chips. If using cream soda for a more authentic Butterbeer flavor, add the reduced syrup in this step and mix gently.

7. 7

   Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

8. 8

   Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.

9. 9

   Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. 10

    Serve with a glass of cold milk or cream soda for the full Butterbeer experience!
