Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the large egg and vanilla extract to the mixture and mix on low speed until just combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt, then gradually add to the wet ingredients.
  5. Fold in the butterscotch chips and semisweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  6. Drop the dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart, and optionally press extra chips on top.
  7. Bake for 10-13 minutes until edges are golden brown and tops feel firm. Avoid overbaking.
  8. Cool cookies on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks. Sprinkle with sea salt before serving.
