Butterscotch Walnut Cookies

1 cup butter

2/3 cup packed light brown sugar

2/3 cup sugar

2 tsp. vanilla

2 large egg

2½ cups flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. salt

1 pkg. butterscotch chips

1 cup roughly chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 350° Position oven racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven

Beat the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar with a mixer on medium speed in a large bowl until fluffy. Add the vanilla and egg and beat to combine.

Whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and beat until just combined. Stir in the butterscotch chips and walnuts.

Scoop slightly mounded tablespoons of the dough and roll into balls. Arrange the balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

Bake the cookies until they are set and golden on the bottom, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes, then transfer to racks to cool completely.
