Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together cold unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Incorporate a large egg and vanilla extract, mixing on low until fully combined, about 30 seconds.
  4. Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl, then gradually add it to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  5. Fold in butterscotch chips, chocolate chips, and optional walnuts until evenly distributed.
  6. Scoop rounded portions onto baking sheets, placing 6-8 cookies per sheet, spacing them apart.
  7. Bake cookies for 8-13 minutes until edges are golden and tops are firm but soft in the centers.
  8. Cool on sheets for 5 minutes, then sprinkle with flaky sea salt before transferring to wire racks.
