- Total Time: 35 minutes
- Yield: about 24 cookies 1x
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tbsp lemon juice (or 1/2 tsp lemon extract)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 cups all purpose
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a stand mixer, add butter, olive oil, lemon juice and sugar. Mix on medium low speed together until creamy. Add egg and vanilla, mix until well-incorporated.
In a small bowl, mix flour, baking soda and salt. Add mixture to mixing bowl and mix on low speed until fully combined. Add butterscotch chips and use hands to bring mixture together. Roll into balls and place onto ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until very lightly golden brown on top. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
Mix glaze ingredients in a bowl with a whisk. Dip tops of cookies into glaze and shake cookies gently to drip any excess glaze back into the bowl. Let set (if you’re patient enough to wait!).
