Ingredients

Scale

For the cookies:

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon butterscotch extract (or ½ cup melted butterscotch chips)

For the filling:

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 23 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or butterscotch extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Line two baking trays with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla and butterscotch extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Scoop small portions of dough onto the prepared trays, leaving space between each piece.
  7. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers remain soft.
  8. Remove from the oven and allow cookies to cool completely on a wire rack.
  9. For the filling, beat softened butter until creamy. Add powdered sugar gradually. Mix in heavy cream and vanilla or butterscotch extract until smooth and fluffy.
  10. Spread or pipe the filling onto the flat side of one cookie. Press another cookie gently on top to form a sandwich.
  11. Repeat until all cookies are paired and filled. Serve immediately or store properly.

Notes

Use butterscotch extract for a stronger flavor, or melt butterscotch chips for a natural alternative.

For a balanced taste, add a pinch of sea salt to the filling.

Cookies can be made smaller for bite-sized treats or larger for a more indulgent dessert.
