Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine cold unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add one large egg and a splash of vanilla extract to the mixture, blending until fully combined.
  4. Gradually fold in all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until just incorporated.
  5. Gently fold in the butterscotch and semisweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  6. Drop generous portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving ample space for spreading.
  7. Bake for 10-13 minutes until the edges are golden and the tops are set but slightly soft.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks and sprinkling with sea salt.
