Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream the cold unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and creamy for about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the large egg and vanilla extract to the mixture and mix on low speed until combined, about 30 seconds.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually incorporate into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. Fold in butterscotch chips, semisweet chocolate chips, and optional walnuts until evenly distributed.
  6. Portion the dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Optionally, add extra chocolate chips on top.
  7. Bake for 8-13 minutes or until edges are lightly golden and tops feel set.
  8. Cool on baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt while warm.
