- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, bicarbonate of soda and 1/2 tsp salt.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the butterscotch chips and 2 tsp Isle of Skye Sea Salt Flakes.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, rotating trays halfway, until lightly golden brown at the edges.
- Allow to cool on the baking tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
