Double Butterscotch Cookies image

This is a very old recipe that's been in the family for generations. Sometimes I'll omit the toffee bits and add miniature chocolate chips or coconut instead. -Beverly Duncan, Lakeville, Ohio

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies turned out too dry. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

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

These cookies are a little too sweet for my taste, but they're still very good.

I'm not a huge fan of butterscotch, but I really enjoyed these cookies. They're not too sweet and the butterscotch flavor is very subtle.

These cookies were a hit with my family! They're so soft and chewy, with the perfect amount of butterscotch flavor. I'll definitely be making them again.
