Butterscotch Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 10 tbsp softened butter (salted) (about 1 1/4 sticks)
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 12 oz chocolate chunks � Note you can mix dark chocolate, bittersweet and semi-sweet chocolate

Directions

1. 2 cookie sheets ( line with foil or parchment paper)
2. Preheat oven to 350�
3. Stir flour and baking powder together in a bowl and set aside. In a separate bowl, combine softened butter, brown sugar, sugar, and vanilla and beat with mixer until just mixed.
4. Then beat in egg. Be careful not to over-beat this mixture, which will result in flat cookies.
5. With a large spatula, stir the flour into the wet mixture. Add chocolate chunks and gently combine.
6. Drop heaping spoonfuls of dough on to cookie sheets lined with foil or parchment.
7. Gently press cookies down. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until cookies have risen a bit and are golden.
