Preheat your oven to 350°F.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on high speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg yolks, vanilla extract, butter extract, and melted butterscotch chips. Mix on medium speed until pale and fluffy, 1-2 minutes. Scrape the bowl as needed.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until combined.
Fold in the butterscotch chips with a rubber spatula.
Scoop the dough into 2-tablespoon portions and place them 2 inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 10-11 minutes.
After baking, use a large circular cookie cutter to shape the cookies. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
