Butterscotch Chips Cookies
Try these simple butter cookies loaded with butterscotch chips. I tried it for the first time and took it for my cousins in Kerala. Everyone loved it. Need to bake a big batch next time, because Neha has liked it a lot and I have not been able to give her much. Very simple and yet quite tasty with a nice crispy edge and a slightly chewy centre. The melted chips gives it a nice caramelized flavour. Since these chips are quite sweet, please add sugar accordingly. For a whole wheat version, please click here.
Ingredients:
- All purpose flour 125 gm
- Salt a small pinch
- Butter 75 gm
- Powdered sugar 50 gm
- Baking soda a small pinch
- Baking powder a small pinch
- Butterscotch essence 1 tsp (optional)
- Butterscotch chips 2-3 tbsp
- Milk 1-2 tbsp (if needed)
Method:
- Cream the butter and sugar well till it is creamy and fluffy. Add the essence and mix.
- Sieve the flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder 2-3 times.
- Add the dry ingredients to the butter-sugar mixture and combine to form a dough. Add milk if the dough appears to be too dry. Add the butterscotch chips and mix well. Refrigerate the dough for few minutes.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper and keep it ready.
- Pinch a small portion of the dough and flatten it in your palm.
- Preheat the oven at 160-170 degree Celsius for atleast 10 minutes.
- Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or till the sides appear a bit golden.
- The cookies will be very soft when you remove it from the oven. It will eventually harden as it cools. This is a bit chewy kind of cookie.
- Remove from oven and let it rest in the tray for 3-4 minutes. Gently transfer onto a wire rack and allow it to cool well.
- Store in airtight containers. Enjoy these with a cup of warm/cold milk.
