Serving Size: 24 Cookies

Cooking Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 Cup butter-flavored shortening
• 0.75 Cup white sugar
• 0.75 Cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 Large eggs
• 2 Teaspoons (tsp) Mexican vanilla extract
• 2.25 Cups all-purpose flour
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) baking soda
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) salt
• 1.5 Cups milk chocolate chips
• 0.5 Cup butterscotch chips

Steps

1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup and even baking.
2. Cream Shortening and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter-flavored shortening, white sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes with an electric mixer on medium speed.
3. Incorporate Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the Mexican vanilla extract, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the creamed mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure tender cookies.
5. Add Chocolate and Butterscotch Chips: Gently fold in the milk chocolate chips and butterscotch chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
6. Shape Cookies: Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared cookie sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
7. Bake: Place the cookie sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are light golden brown around the edges. The centers should still look slightly underbaked.
8. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help them set and maintain their chewy texture. Enjoy your cookies with a glass of cold milk or your favorite hot beverage!
