In a large frying pan, melt the butter. Mix using a rubber spatula until the milk deposits separate and turn amber in color. Pour the butter into a bowl and cool until room temperature.
1 cup Plus 1 Tablespoon Unsalted butter
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon together. Set aside.
2 1/2 cups All-purpose flour, 1/2 tsp Baking soda, 1/2 tsp Baking powder, 1 tsp Salt, 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
In a separate bowl, beat the melted butter, brown sugar, and sugar on high speed for 2 minutes. Add in the vanilla and eggs and mix on medium until combined.
1 cup Brown sugar, 1/2 cup White granulated sugar, 2 tsp Pure vanilla extract, 2 Large eggs
Add in the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed until combined. Add in the butterscotch chips and chocolate chips. Fold the dough until combined.
1 cup Butterscotch chips, 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper. Let the dough sit for 10 minutes for the gluten to absorb into the dough. This helps with spreading.
Take a large cookie scoop (2 Tbsp or 2oz). Scoop a heaping amount of cookie dough. Place 6 per cookie sheet.
Bake for 13-15 minutes. The edges should be golden brown. Let it sit for 5 minutes on the tray before transferring to a cooling rack.

Flour- Make sure the flour is spooned and leveled or use a kitchen scale. Compacted flour can dry out the cookies.

High altitude baking- Add an extra 2 TBSP of flour.

Bring out eggs 2 hours before baking.

For small 1 oz or 1 TBSP cookies. Bake for 9-11 minutes.
