Oh Boy Butterscotch Cookies...
But Not just ant butterscotch cookies. These have a crispy crunchy outer shell while inside is sweet, buttery, chewy and hidden bits of delicious Butterscotch throughout.
These are such a winner!
I was looking for something a little new, something a little more grown up than a standard chocolate chip cookie. I started with simply replacing the chips with the butterscotch chips. Worked fine but just tasted like a chocolate chip cookie with butterscotch. Not as good.
Then I recalled a crisp cookie I had at a cookie exchange recently. It stood out as something memorable along side the soft chewy sugar cookies that dominated the choices. I tracked down that recipe from a friend, added the butterscotch and viola...
A truly wonderful choice when you want something a little crispy, crunchy, sweet yet memorable cookie... with lots of hints of butterscotch! A KEEPER!

But first I want to show off a couple of items I use to make my baking life easier. A couple years ago I was gifted with my first Silipat. A simple solution to non-stick pans that stick. i have saved hundreds of dollars in Parchment paper costs, as well as hours of frustration while cleaning ... Take a look.
Enjoy indeed and keep scrolling down for the easy to follow recipe.
