Butterscotch Chocolate Chunk Cookies are the perfect treat for fall!  The orange of the butterscotch chips and the brown of the chocolate chunks are beautiful autumn colors, then add the delicious cookie dough that wraps them all up together and that makes them truly… perfect!

I love to bake.  Cookies are awesome because they can go just about everywhere, they’re easy to transport, and everyone’s always SO happy to see them! We like to keep a bag of cookies in the freezer to put in school lunches or just to have handy for when that sweet tooth decides to pop in.

Butterscotch Chocolate Chunk Cookies are made even better with the sprinkling of sea salt on top~ it’s not necessary but it adds a little flavor pop that’s hard to beat!  You’ll be so glad you remembered to add it onto each dough ball before baking.
