Time 45m

Yield about 48 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for garnish
1 cup butterscotch chips
1 cup pecans, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

  • Combine the flour, baking soda and salt in a separate bowl and slowly incorporate into the batter a little at a time. Beat until smooth. Fold in the butterscotch chips and pecans.
