Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl.
Tip: Sift the dry ingredients to ensure they are well combined.
- 3
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
Tip: Use an electric mixer to speed up the process.

Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
Tip: Make sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.

Stir in the flour mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Tip: The dough should still be slightly crumbly.

Fold in the butterscotch chips and chocolate chips.

Scoop the dough into balls, about 2cm in diameter.
Tip: Use a cookie scoop or spoon to achieve uniform balls.

Roll the balls in a mixture of granulated sugar and brown sugar to coat.
Tip: Make sure the sugar mixture is well combined and evenly distributed.

Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 5cm of space between each cookie.
