Butterscotch Cookies

Chocolate chip cookies with brown sugar and optional pecans, along with butterscotch chips and butter. I prefer without the nuts but the cookies are very good. This recipe would also work very well as a plain chocolate chip cookie change the chips to 2 cups of chocolate chips.

Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup butter
• 1 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
• 2 large eggs
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup chopped pecans, OPTIONAL
• 1 cup butterscotch chips
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside
3. Cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
4. Stir flour mixture into the creamed mixture. Fold in pecans, butterscotch chips, and chocolate chips.
5. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place balls about 2 inches apart on greased baking sheet. Flatten and round each cookie (looks prettier).
6. Bake at 350 for about 10-15 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool in pan for about five minutes then move to rack to cool completely.
