Butterscotch Chip Cookie Cake | Wüsthof Giveaway
You know when you are walking through the mall and all you can smell is fresh baked cookies? I don’t really go to the mall all too often but when I do, you better believe it’s for that cookie smell. And that’s exactly what my house smelled like when this butterscotch cookie cake was baking.
Butterscotch, butter, brown sugar…my dream recipe. Butterscotch chips are a huge weakness for me. I am not ashamed to even say that sometimes I buy a bag just for snacking.
My love of butterscotch comes honestly – my whole family loves it. My mom makes the best butterscotch pie you can imagine. In fact, I’m not sure why I have never blogged about it. I’m salivating just telling you about it.
And this cookie cake – so simple. And the texture was so amazing – chewy on the outside, soft and buttery on the inside. And then there’s the butterscotch – just cannot be beat.

Butterscotch Chip Cookie Cake
Yield: 8 slices
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Butterscotch chips give a unique twist to a classic cookie cake recipe.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 (heaping) cup butterscotch chipsDirections:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-inch round pan and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, cream of tartar and baking soda.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the butter and sugars together until combined and creamy. Add the egg and vanilla and mix for several minutes until light, fluffy and a pale yellow color.
With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients and mix until fully combined. Add in the butterscotch chips.
Turn the dough out into the prepared pan and use an offset spatula to spread into an even layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, until the edges are lightly brown and set. Remove from the oven and cool in the pan on a wire rack.
Cassie’s Notes:
Add in some chocolate chips, white chips, peanut butter chips or caramel bits in place of some of the butterscotch – or make a combination of your favorites!Adapted from Food.com via Dine and Dish

My favorite cake is chocolate! What brand of butterscotch chips do you use?
Cassie replied: — October 25th, 2012 @ 8:13 am
Honestly, I think these were Target’s Market Pantry brand. I like Hershey’s the best but sometimes don’t feel like forking over the extra dollar for them. It just depends on my mood but I haven’t found any that I don’t like.
My favorite cake is this homemade chocolate cake – the recipe calls for coffee and buttermilk- it’s the most moist cake ever!!
Your cookie cake looks amazing!
Butterscotch, YUM!
I LOVE funfetti…. boxed mix, I’m guilty!
I love that you eat butterscotch chips straight from the bag…they are a weakness of mine too:-) And this cookie cake…pure awesomeness! My house needs that smell going on! My favorite cake would have to be a chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting and loaded with Reeses.
My favorite cake is a yellow cake with chocolate buttercream…but holy goodness this looks incredible. I am now CRAVING cookie cake. 🙂

I’m a sucker for butterscotch chips also and absolutely canNOT be trusted around them! This cookie cake looks awesome…like one HUGE blondie. My favorite cake…red velvet!
Cassie replied: — October 25th, 2012 @ 8:12 am
Yes! That is exactly the texture – like a blondie. Which is why I nearly ate the whole thing by myself. Oops! 🙂
I am glad we’re friends but not glad that you posted about cookies early this morning. NOW I want one. Real bad.
My favorite cake ever is a vanilla cake with chocolate ice cream inside! 🙂

Cake. I love cake. Hard to choose just one, but if I had to, it would be a traditional southern carmel cake. Buttery, fine grain cake with a thick, carmel frosting.

Your cookie cake looks fantastic. I always disliked butterscotch growing up, but as an adult, I love it!
Well, your butterscotch chip cookie cake looks pretty darned good… but my favourite is dark chocolate mousse cake. Rich, smooth, chocolatey, not too sweet, with a thin cakey bottom and large mousey top… maybe with some shaved chocolate or chocolate slice on top… and a bit of whipped cream… Drool!!
Italian Cream Cake. Yum!!!

I’m obsessed with a sweet potato cake with cream cheese icing made by a local restaurant.
I am a sucker for a rich decadent chocolate cake – but this looks pretty delicious as well!
I’m a huge lover of carrot cake. Or pineapple upside down cake. or cheesecake 🙂
My favorite cake is cherry chocolate cake. My grandmother used to make it for my birthday. She would dump a can of cherry pie filling into the batter of chocolate cake mix, and it would keep the cake moist too. It was the best cake!
Chocolate is good, but butterscotch cannot be beat! Let’s get crazy and add some chocolate and butterscotch chips together in one fine cookie!
I love wusthof!! My favorite cake is yellow cake with chocolate espresso frosting. I prefer it in my mom’s big duck shaped pan. 🙂
Whendi. I totally agree with adding a little (or a lot) of chocolate chips!! All time fav cake: German Chocolate!!!
German Chocolate Earthquake Cake! So yummy!
I love a banana cake with cream cheese frosting that has caramel sauce drizzled on top of the frosting.
I can already smell that baking in my oven!! My fav cake is still and always will be Coconut cake…heavenly!!!!

How have I lived this long without one of those 😉

Marshmallow probably came first into being as a medicinal substance, since the mucilaginous extracts comes from the root of the marshmallow plant, Althaea officinalis, which were used as a remedy for sore throats. Concoctions of other parts of the marshmallow plant had medical purposes as well…-.-
