Butterscotch and toffee were just meant to be paired together. I think they were also meant to be paired together with brown sugar and browned butter because the flavor combination is just incredible! These cookies are seriously, amazing. Every bite is an explosion in your mouth! There is just so much delicious flavor packed into them. They’re thick, chewy and the perfect cookie to sink your teeth into. Just the way I like them!
Instead of using plain melted butter, I decided to use browned butter, which makes a WORLD of a difference in taste. You can skip this step but I definitely don’t recommend it because it adds so much nutty, beautiful flavor that goes perfectly with all of the other flavors.
Chilling the dough is absolutely mandatory for two+ hours. I tried going around it and baking one cookie as a tester at one hour, and it came out flat as a pancake. The dough needs to be cold in order to reduce spreading.
These cookies are sure to be a hit!

If desired, stud the outside of dough balls with more butterscotch chips for a visual pop. Bake for 9-10 minutes.
