Posted in response to a request, this is a recipe from the "Farm Journal's Best Ever Recipes". I have not made this recipe myself, but most everything I have ever tried from Farm Journal has been exceptional. Prep time, obviously, is a guess.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I used sunflower seeds instead of walnuts. They turned out great!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies turned out flat and crispy. They still tasted good, but they weren't the chewy cookies I was hoping for.

I'm not a big fan of butterscotch, but these cookies are still really good. The cookie itself is soft and chewy, and the butterscotch flavor is not overpowering.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover butterscotch pudding. I always have a container of pudding in my fridge, so I'm glad I found this recipe.

I didn't have any butterscotch chips, so I used chocolate chips instead. They turned out great!

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll use less sugar next time.

I love the chewiness of these cookies. They're not too hard or too soft, they're just perfect. The butterscotch flavor is also amazing.
