This is one of many "NO BAKE" recipes that I keep in my recipe stash. Who doesn't love a recipe that is short, quick and resulting in something scrumptious? Really you can't go wrong by stirring something into melted chocolate or in this case a mixture of white chocolate and butterscotch.You can find me elsewhere too....

This sweet and easy dessert treat is courtesy of my dear SiL...they are easy to make, and taste delicious. Good recipe for the kids to help with, and great for parties and gift giving if you put them in mini cupcake papers. The candy coating/almond bark is usually sold in packages of flat rectangles, not chips, but either could be used - 1 package is all that's required for the recipe. Unfortunately, I don't know the exact size in ounces, so this is an estimate.

Tips for Making Texas Tumbleweed Cookies:

-
  • Start with cold butter: This keeps the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • -
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This helps the cookies achieve a soft and chewy texture.
  • -
  • Add the eggs one at a time: Beating well after each addition helps to keep the dough from curdling.
  • -
  • Use a combination of all-purpose and bread flour: This gives the cookies a tender and slightly crispy texture.
  • -
  • Chill the dough before baking: This helps the cookies hold their shape better in the oven.
  • -
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set: Overbaking can dry out the cookies.
  • -
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: This helps them keep their shape and prevents them from becoming too sticky.
  • Conclusion

    Texas Tumbleweed Cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their soft and chewy texture, delicate flavor, and festive appearance, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
