Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon liquid butterscotch syrup
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream or half-and-half
  • Optional: edible gold dust or sprinkles for decoration

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy and light, using a stand mixer if desired.
  3. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and butterscotch syrup until well combined.
