Hey there! These Salted Chocolate Butterscotch Chip Cookies are so delicious that I want to eat them all with a large glass of milk! They are perfect for those with a sweet tooth.

Scott brought a batch of these cookies into his workplace and they disappeared in no time. No word on who ate them all, but an empty plate in a hurry must mean they enjoyed them, right? You know it’s good when they keep coming back for a second or third cookie.

These indulgent cookies are full of rich chocolate and sweet butterscotch flavour and are soft and cake-like in texture.

The addition of coarse sea salt on top of each cookie heightens the chocolate notes and gives it a delightful contrast from the sweet notes of the cookie too.

You’ll need to try it to know what I mean! I hope you enjoy this recipe!

How do you make these chocolate cookies?

(Complete ingredient amounts and instructions in the recipe card down below)

Using a stand (or electric) mixer, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until fluffy and well-combined. Add eggs and vanilla extract until just combined.

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

Set the mixer to medium speed and slowly add the flour mixture in small batches into the mixing bowl until just combined to form a thick dough. Then fold in a cup of butterscotch chips.

Measure out two tablespoons of dough, form a ball with the palms of your hands, and place a couple inches apart on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. It makes around 24 cookies.

You can also use a small cookie scoop to drop each cookie onto the baking sheet.

Slightly flatten each cookie and press in the remaining butterscotch chips on the top of each cookie. Sprinkle each cookie with a little sea salt.

Not only does it look pretty, but it ensures that each cookie has a decent amount of chips and the sea salt brings out the chocolate flavour and helps balance out the sweetness.

The cookie dough doesn’t need to be chilled prior to baking either so the wait time between you and a freshly baked cookie is quick!

Bake for 10-12 minutes, until puffed on top and slightly crisp on the bottom. Let the soft cookies cool on the baking sheet for 3 minutes before transferring a cooling rack to completely cool. Enjoy!
