Ingredients
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup white chocolate chunks or baking wafers
3/4 cup butterscotch fudge squares, chopped
Flaky sea salt, for garnish
Optional: warm caramel sauce for drizzling
Instructions
1. Cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (2–3 minutes).
2. Add the egg and vanilla extract, beating until fully combined.
3. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
4. Slowly add dry ingredients into wet, mixing until just combined.
5. Fold in white chocolate and butterscotch fudge, reserving some for topping.
6. Chill dough for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
7. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheet with parchment.
8. Scoop dough (2 tbsp each), place 2 inches apart. Press reserved mix-ins on top.
9. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until edges are golden and centers are just set.
10. Sprinkle with flaky salt right out of the oven and cool for 5 minutes.
11. Drizzle with caramel once slightly cooled (optional).
Notes
For soft centers, avoid overbaking—remove when slightly underdone.
Use high-quality white chocolate chunks for better melt and flavor.
Caramel drizzle adds drama and flavor, but it’s optional.
