I lied. These aren't really my Grandma's cookies. Nor did this recipe come from her. They do, however, taste like hers, and if you've ever tried them, you're probably smiling right now because her recipe is impossible to duplicate and anything that tastes remotely close to the original is bound to be delicious at the very least! :-)
If you like them soft and chewy like we do, cooking them on stoneware and flattening them as soon as they come out of the oven is key. The heat from the stone will continue to cook the bottom while the rest of it cools, leaving you with a perfectly scrumptious new addiction!
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 c. butter, softened
- 1 1/4 c. granulated sugar
- 1 1/4 c. packed brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp. vanilla
- 2 eggs
- 4 c. all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 2 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 c. butterscotch chips
- Preheat oven to 350. Beat butter, sugars, vanilla and eggs in large bowl with electric mixer until light and fluffy. Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir in chocolate chips.
- Roll Tbsp sized dough balls and placed 2 inches apart on greased cookie sheet. Flatten slightly.
- Bake 11-13 min. Flatten with flipper immediately after they come out of the oven. Cool. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack.
