Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter cubed
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • ½ cup Sugar
  • 2 Eggs + 1 egg yolk
  • 2 ½ cups gluten-free flour
  • teaspoon Cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips
  • 10 Ghirardelli chocolate squares
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, combine cornstarch, gluten-free flour, salt, and baking soda. Set the dry ingredients aside.
  • Cream the cold cubed butter in a large bowl using an electric mixer with a paddle attachment. Add in granulated sugar and brown sugar and cream for 3 minutes. Add vanilla extract.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, creaming on medium speed.
  • Once the eggs are combined and the mixture is creamy, add the dry mixture ½ cup at a time while beating slowly. Keep beating slowly until a cookie dough forms.
  • Fold in the butterscotch chips using a spatula.
  • Use a medium cookie scoop to scoop the cookie dough into large balls of dough. Flatten the ball and top it with a Ghirardelli chocolate square. Cover with another medium scoop of cookie dough. Use your hands to seal the chocolate in cookie dough completely.
  • Line the cookie dough balls on two large baking sheets leaving ample room between each dough ball.
  • Chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
  • Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes until they are slightly golden brown. Let the cookies rest on the cookie sheet for 10 minutes before lining them on a wire rack. This will allow the cookies to finish cooking.

Notes

Some butterscotch chips are not gluten-free because they're made with barley. There are some brands that are gluten-free. Check my ingredient notes for more information.
