Ingredients
  

  • 8 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • 1 1/4 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 3/4 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 cup Butterscotch Chips
  • 1/2 cup Cinnamon Chips

Instructions
 

  • In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, add the butter. Whisk frequently until you see brown bits start to appear, and the popping sounds slow down. Then remove from heat immediately, and transfer to a bowl to cool for about 15 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, baking soda and powder, and salt. Whisk together.
  • Once the browned butter is to room temperature, pour it into a stand mixer, being sure to scrape in all the brown bits!
  • Add the sugars and mix until well combined.
  • Mix in the egg and vanilla for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
  • Add the dry ingredients and mix on low until just combined, being sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
  • Fold in the butterscotch and cinnamon chips.
  • Wrap the dough into a ball with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 1-24 hours. (If chilling for 24, be sure to remove it from the fridge 1 hour before you’re ready to bake them to soften up a bit.)
  • Pre-heat oven to 350°F and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, (I used a 1 1/2 tablespoon cookie scoop) about two inches apart.
  • Bake for 10 minutes, remove and allow resting for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Enjoy!
