Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 pinch salt optional and to taste
  • 1 11-ounce bag butterscotch chips about 1 ¾ cups
  • 1 cup honey roasted peanuts or substitute with dry-roasted salted peanuts

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Baking Sheets
  • Parchment paper
  • Cookie Scoop

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the butterscotch chips and honey roasted peanuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  6. Drop heaping tablespoons of cookie dough onto prepared baking sheets lined with parchment paper, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers appear set but slightly soft.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
  • For longer storage, freeze cookies in a single layer for up to three months.
  • To reheat, microwave for a few seconds or bake at 300°F (150°C) for 5-7 minutes.
