1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp sea salt

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, cream the softened butter with brown and granulated sugars until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
In another bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and sea salt together.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
Fold in the butterscotch and chocolate chips.
