Ingredients
-
3 cups
all-purpose flour
-
1 teaspoon
baking soda
-
1/2 teaspoon
Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt
-
1 cup
cold butter, cut into small cubes
-
3/4 cup
light brown sugar, lightly packed
-
1/3 cup
honey
-
2
eggs
-
1 1/2 cups
butterscotch chips
-
2 1/2 cups
potato chips, roughly crushed
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 410°F. Line two baking sheets with silicone baking mats.
-
In a medium bowl, add flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
-
In the bowl of a stand mixer, add butter, sugar, and honey. Cream until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Since you are dealing with cold butter, start on low speed for about 30 seconds. Switch to medium speed for another 30 seconds and then high speed for 1 minute.
-
Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl. Add in eggs. Mix on medium speed until incorporated.
-
Add in dry ingredients. Mix on the lowest speed until all the flour is just incorporated, being careful not to over-mix.
-
Add in butterscotch chips and potato chips and mix on the lowest speed for about 5 revolutions until butterscotch chips and potato chips are evenly incorporated into the dough.
-
Remove dough from bowl and mix with hands a few times to make sure butterscotch chips and potato chips are evenly distributed. Dough should be quite sticky.
-
Grab the dough by the handful lightly form 8 very loose balls, each weighing 6 ounces.
-
Place four cookies on each baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart, so that they don't spread onto each other.
-
Bake only one sheet at a time in the middle row of the oven, for about 15-20 minutes. The tops of the cookies should be a light brown and the dough should look cooked, but the cookies should not be fully set. While the cookies are still warm, top each with a generous sprinkle of flaky sea salt. Allow cookies cool for at least 15 minutes. They should still be gooey inside even after 15 minutes. Cookies are best eaten warm.
