    📋 Gather your Ingredients

    You will need the following ingredients to make this Sea Salt Butterscotch Cookies recipe (see recipe card for quantities): Unsalted Butter, All Purpose Flour, Baking Soda, Sea Salt, Light Brown Sugar, Eggs, Vanilla Extract, Butterscotch Chips, Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips and Pretzels.

    🥣 How to Make Butterscotch Cookies

    In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, then bring it to a boil. Once the butter starts boiling, swirl the pan constantly until the butter passes the foamy phase and becomes a deep amber color. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the butter to cool for 20 minutes.
    While the butter is cooling, preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
    In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, and sea salt. Set aside.
    Add the brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla into the cooled butter in the saucepan and stir to combine. Pour this mixture into the bowl with the flour mixture. Stir using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until the dough comes together.
    Stir in the butterscotch chips, chocolate chips, and pretzels.
    Using a medium (2 tablespoons) cookie scoop, drop the dough 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Bake for 14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
    Allow the cookies to cool for 2-3 minutes on the baking sheet and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. If desired, sprinkle with a tiny pinch of flaked sea salt on top of the cookies while cooling.
