Butterscotch Spice Cookies

I am doing a happy dance tonight because we just ordered a new refrigerator! I am super stoked. It's so much bigger than the one we have now, and the freezer is on the bottom. It'll be nice to not have to squat to get things out of the fridge. Plus, since we are getting this new one, we will have a refrigerator in the garage now. No more having to borrow space in other people's fridges and freezers. Things are looking up for this holiday baking season!

Anyway, these cookies. People love these. It's a spiced cookie that has chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and toffee pieces in it. They're soft, chewy, and have a great blend of flavors. While these aren't my personal favorites (because I'm not a big butterscotch fan), I know a lot of people who absolutely love them. I always make a huge batch of them over the holidays. Cookies are one of my favorite things to bake, so I'm looking forward to sharing a lot of cookie recipes with you guys in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!

Butterscotch Spice Cookies Recipe
Makes about 5 dozen
Print this recipe

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
3 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Pinch ginger
Pinch nutmeg
Pinch cloves
3 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup butterscotch chips
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
1/2 cup English toffee bits

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time until blended. Scrape down the bowl as needed. Add in the vanilla, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves and mix until combined. Add in flour and mix on low until incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, toffee bits, and walnuts (if using).
 
Form the dough into one-inch balls and place on an ungreased baking sheet two inches apart from each other. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until lightly browned. Let cool on the pan for one minute and then remove to a wire rack or a flat surface to cool.

Oooh these look so delicious! :) I do like butterscotch, but in small doses, it can definitely be too much sometimes! Going to have to make these over Christmas and share them with my friends :)

I am thinking your father in law would like these. He use to be a big butterscotch fan

     Welcome!

    Cooking is fun and easy at high altitude, but baking can be frustrating. About 90% of my recipes work everywhere, but some are adjusted so us mountain dwellers can enjoy baked goods from scratch. I hope you find great recipes on here for your family, and I'll let you know if any are adjusted for high altitude. 

    Stay Updated!
