I created this recipe when I had company coming for Christmas and I was fresh out of chocolate chips. The cookies were such a hit with family that they became a treasured holiday tradition. I've been making the recipe for over 40 years now. -Jeanne Walker, Oxnard, California

These cookies are a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more butter next time.

I'm not a big fan of butterscotch, but these cookies are still really good. The walnuts add a nice crunch.
