About Butterscotch Cookies

Butterscotch cookies are a simple recipe made using everyday ingredients like flour, butter, sugar and a little butterscotch chips and essence to taste. The texture is soft and slightly crunchy on the edges, and the butterscotch chips add nice flavor. Its taste has a light caramel like feel which people like very much.

The cookies are crunchy with a buttery taste in every bite and the butterscotch flavor adds more depth and substance. If you love the taste of butterscotch then you must try this recipe! These are eggless and super easy to cook, so make sure to make them and let me know, I’m waiting!

This recipe is eggless, anyone can make it easily at home anytime. The buttermilk or curd-water mixture helps bring the dough together and keeps the cookies soft. You can also add extra chips if you want more sweetness. Children mostly like these cookies so they get finished within minutes.

This can be easily customized, some like the cookies a little thicker and chewier, some like them thinner. You can flatten the dough as much or as little as you wish. The butterscotch essence adds a pleasant aroma that persists even after the cookies cool. If kept in an airtight container, they remain fresh for a few days.

I usually make this when I need something home-made but don’t want to spend much time in the kitchen. Both of my kids love the taste of butterscotch so keep making these cookies every now and then.

Butterscotch Cookies Ingredients

• Fine flour – I have used all-purpose flour as it gives a soft and light texture to the cookies. You can add a little wheat flour for a healthier option but the taste changes slightly.
• butter – I have used soft butter so it makes a creamy mixture with the sugar. You can also use salted butter but reduce the salt later.
• white granulated sugar – I’ve used it to sweeten cookies and give them a slight crisp on the outside. You can use cane sugar but the texture and color becomes slightly different.
• buttermilk – I use it to hold the dough and keep it soft.
• butterscotch essence – I used it for the main flavor which smells good. If you don’t have vanilla you can replace it with vanilla.
• baking soda – I added it so that the cookies would rise a little and not become too dense.
• Butterscotch Chips – I use these for added flavor and small crunchy pieces. Instead of this you can also use choco chips.

Meanwhile, shape all the cookies and place them on a baking tray lined with butter paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are brown. Keep an eye only after 10 minutes. Carefully remove them from the butter paper and then cool on a wire rack.

Cool and then store in an airtight container. Serve it hot with a glass of milk or as a tea snack.

Expert Tips

• use soft butter – I keep the butter out for some time, so that it becomes soft and easier to mix.
• chill the dough – I usually keep the dough in the refrigerator because it keeps the cookies from spreading too much while baking.
• checking – I usually check the oven after 10 minutes as the edges brown suddenly.
• shape gently – I flatten the dough a bit, so the cookies cook evenly. Do not press it hard.
• adjust chips – When I want to make the cookies a little sweeter I usually add more chips. You can adjust as per your preference.
