1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup white chocolate chunks
Flaky sea salt for topping optional

3. Whisk flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt in another bowl.
4. Gradually combine dry ingredients with the wet mixture until dough forms.
5. Fold in butterscotch chips and white chocolate chunks.
6. Chill dough for 30 minutes.
7. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Chilling the dough prevents cookies from spreading too much.
Use chopped white chocolate bars for the best creamy texture.
Slightly underbake for soft bakery-style centers.
