Directions

  1. In a large bowl, mix flour, baking soda and salt.
  2. Beat butter and peanut butter until smooth. Gradually add sugar, beating to blend. Beat in egg and vanilla. Stir in flour mixture and butterscotch morsels. Form into a large disk and wrap in plastic. Chill for 2 hours or overnight.
  3. Preheat oven to 375F; line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Use hands to form dough into 1 1/2-inch balls.
