White Chocolate-Butterscotch Cookies
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
- 3/4 cup vegetable shortening, room temperature
- 1 1/4 cups packed dark-brown sugar

- 8 ounces best-quality white chocolate, chopped into 1/4-inch pieces
- Preheat the oven to 350F, with racks in the upper and lower thirds.
- Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, shortening, and brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Beat in the egg and the vanilla until combined.
- With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture in two batches, beating until just combined.
- Stir in the white chocolate.
- Drop 2 tablespoons of dough at a time about 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
- Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until lightly golden brown around the edges, about 15 minutes.
