They have a delicate crumb, crisp edges, and a soft buttery center. Whether you’re serving them with coffee, tea, or as a homemade gift, this recipe is simple yet elegant.<\/p>\n Prep Time:<\/strong> 20 minutes In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and creamy (about 2\u20133 minutes). Mix in the vanilla extract.<\/p>\n In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.<\/p>\n Gently stir in the chopped butterscotch chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.<\/p>\n Shape the dough into a log or flatten it into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Chilling helps the cookies keep their shape while baking.<\/p>\n Preheat the oven to 175\u00b0C (350\u00b0F)<\/strong>. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.<\/p>\n Roll the dough to about \u00bd cm thickness<\/strong> and cut with your favorite cookie cutters, or slice the dough log into rounds.<\/p>\n Arrange the cookies on the prepared tray, leaving about 2 cm between each cookie.<\/p>\n Bake for 12\u201315 minutes<\/strong>, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should remain pale.<\/p>\n Allow the cookies to cool on the baking tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.<\/p>\n These cookies pair wonderfully with:<\/p>\n The beauty of these Butterscotch Shortbread Cookies is their simplicity.
