Our philosophy for these cookies: If butterscotch is good, more butterscotch is better. And we think, if you’re a fan of the nutty-sweet flavor, then you’re going to go wild for these tender, chewy, chip-strewn cookies. The thing that really puts them over the top, though, is the sprinkling of salt that balances out the sweetness just right—skip it at your own risk!
