Butterscotch Walnut Cookies

Everyone loves warm cookies straight from the oven. Although our first love will always be chocolate, butterscotch is a great way to create the occasional switch up. Everyone we shared these with gave us immense compliments. We cannot wait to make a batch of these for snacking on with cocoa during cold winter evenings.

1 cup white sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs

Butterscotch Cookies

These are one of our favorite cookies. The butterscotch is a nice change from the chocolate we usually eat.

We've been asked by our readers several times how we find so much time to bake but in actuality many of our recipes take less than an hour to make.

Ingredients: 1 package yellow cake mix
1 (3.4 ounce) package instant butterscotch pudding mix
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1 cup butterscotch chips

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease cookie sheets.
2. In a medium bowl, stir together the cake mix, instant pudding and flour. 3. Add oil and egg, mix until well blended. 4. Stir in the butterscotch chips. Batter will be somewhat crumbly. 5. Scoop cookies with a small ice cream scoop or compress 1 tablespoon of dough into a ball. Place 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, until the edges are just starting to brown. 6. Allow cookies to cool for 2 minutes before removing from baking sheet to cool on wire racks.

Magic Cookie Bars

You've probably been eating these since you were a kid. They are a rich decadent dessert or snack. And so easy to make. Since they only require one pan clean up is a snap.

Ingredients 1/2 cup butter, melted
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 to 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
1 to 1 1/2 cups coconut
1 to 1 1/2 cups butterscotch chips
1 1/2/ cups walnuts or pecans
1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk

Directions 1. Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
2. In a 9x13 inch baking pan mix butter and graham cracker crumbs and press evenly to cover the bottom of the pan. Melt the butter and mix together right in the pan to avoid having to wash extra dishes. 3. Sprinkle the chocolate chips, coconut, butterscotch chips, and nuts over the crumb base. (We forgot to pick up any nuts at the grocery store and only ended up with about a 1/4 cup at home). 4. Drizzle condensed milk over the top. 5. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. 6. Cool completely on a wire rack and cut into bars. This was a thin bar. While it was absolutely delicious I think next time I will add more chips and nuts so that I have a thicker bar.
