These Butterscotch Walnut Delight Cookies are a delightful twist on the classic cookie recipe, combining rich butterscotch flavor with the crunch of walnuts.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Always preheat your oven to ensure even baking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking soda, and cream of tartar.
Sift the dry ingredients together for a smoother dough.
In another bowl, cream the butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Add the canola oil, milk, vanilla extract, and egg to the creamed mixture and mix until well combined.
Mix on low speed to prevent splattering.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Do not overmix to maintain a tender cookie texture.
Fold in the butterscotch chips and chopped walnuts using a wooden spoon.
Ensure the add-ins are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto a greased cookie sheet, spacing them evenly.
Use a cookie scoop for uniform sizes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 7-8 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
For a crispier cookie, bake for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling on the sheet helps the cookies set properly.
Serve the cookies once cooled and enjoy with your favorite beverage.
Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
