Toll House Butterscotch Chip Cookies

Delicious! I licked the beater clean too while making the dough. I made the cookies this morning and had some tiny tots come over who said "mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm gimme more" for these cookies. Thanks a tonne for your timely help on making cookies and for sharing this fantastic recipe!

yummy, yummy, yummy UPDATE: I used whole wheat flour this time - they are really good.

These are good!! I used half the amount of butter and then made up the other half with unsweetened applesauce. The results were great! Next time I might cut down a bit on the sugar. Thanks for a great recipe on Zaar day!!!

MODIFIED the recipe because previous batches were TOO SWEET. The modifications I made were just about perfect, still too sweet for our tastes, but everyone else thought they were outstanding. My modifications: -- Eliminate the white sugar entirely and use just one (1) cup of brown sugar. In fact, the second batch we made with Splenda® brown sugar (which halves the brown sugar entirely) were still perfect because the chips are so very sweet. -- Up the baking soda to two (2) teaspoons. -- Up the salt to one and one-half (1-1/2) teaspoons. -- Personal preference: I added one (1) teaspoon cinnamon to my dry ingredients -- Substitute the butter with butter flavored Crisco®; makes a lighter cookie all around -- For moist cookies, add a few tablespoons of Crisco® vegetable oil to the shortening/sugar mixture while beating before the eggs and other ingredients are incorporated. -- Avoid nuts (breaks up cookies). Bittersweet chocolate chips (60% cocoa) mixed with butterscotch chips are a neat addition, again, reducing sweetness. -- If using parchment to bake, it is okay to let cookies sit on baking pan longer than a minute or two after baking to allow them to set properly. -- Do Not Over-bake the cookie bottoms will be too brown and you will dry them out.

These were great cookies...extremely yummy. I too used greaseproof paper on the cookie tray...and I like my cookies smallish...kind off bite size just cos I don't feel so guilty...and it made me 6 and a half dozens of them. Crispy around the sides, and chewy close to the middle...good stuff. next time, I might use half a cup of butter, and half a cup of shortening, just so that they don't flatten out so much in the oven. Other than that...they were WONDERFUL!! Thanks Erin!
