Tips:

Use fresh hops. Fresh hops impart the best flavor and aroma to the cookies. If you can't find fresh hops, you can use dried hops, but reduce the amount by half.
Don't overcook the cookies. The cookies should be slightly golden brown around the edges and still soft in the center. If you overcook them, they will be dry and crumbly.
Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. The cookies will stay fresh for up to 3 days.
Enjoy the cookies! Hop butterscotch cookies are a delicious and unique treat that are perfect for any occasion.
