Stippichs: Chocolate Butterscotch Cookies

EXPERIMENT SUCCESSFUL. DETAILS FOLLOW.

My buddy Josh is having a party soon and I promised to bring cookies. I wanted to do something I hadn’t yet done. And so I did something with chocolate and butterscotch. Turns out there aren’t too many recipes for that kinda thing… so I made one! And it came out GREAT. Now since I haven’t gotten Josh a birthday present proper… I named the cookie after him. Find below, the recipe for Stippichs, the best cookie ever made.

Stippichs
2 1/4 c. flour
1/2 c. cocoa
1 t. baking soda
1/4 t. salt
1 c. (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 c. granulated sugar
1 c. brown sugar, packed
1 t. vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 oz. (2 squares) baking chocolate
2 c. (about one bag) butterscotch chips

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl and set aside. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter, sugars, and vanilla extract. Add the eggs one at a time, beating after adding each one. Beat in melted baking chocolate. Gradually beat in the dry ingredients you set aside earlier. Fold in the butterscotch chips.

Put the batter on an ungreased cookie sheet, about a rounded tablespoon for each one, and bake for 9-11 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool on tray 2-3 minutes. Move to wire racks to cool completely (10-20 minutes).
