Butterscotch & Chocolate Chip Cookies


Butterscotch flavor reminds me of the lovely candy that is circular in shape while wrapped in a yellow cellophane wrapping.  Every Halloween season as a child, my brother and I would encounter these butterscotch candies from our trick or treating.  Butterscotch is like eating caramel and butter at the same time and lets just say, it's not for everyone.  When I came across these chips from Nestle, I couldn't resist and purchase a bag!  Simply add them to your favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe!  Enjoy!




Butterscotch & Chocolate Chip Cookies
Yield:  (19) - 3" Cookies

8 oz. - Butter
1 Cup - Granulated Sugar
1 Cup - Dark Brown Sugar, packed

2 Large - Eggs
2 tsp - Vanilla Extract

3 Cup - All Purpose Flour
1 tsp - Baking Soda
1 1/2 tsp - Baking Powder
1 1/2 tsp - Kosher Salt

4 oz. - Chocolate Chips
4 oz. - Butterscotch Chips

Procedure:
1.  Sift all purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, kosher salt, and set aside.
2.  Cream butter until light, add both sugar, mix to combined.
3.  Add one egg at a time, and then add the vanilla extract until combined, do not over-mix.
4.  Add dried ingredients in two part and mix until combined.
5.  Fold in the Butterscotch and Chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
