Peanut Butter Scotchies

p. 58

This looked like a yummy recipe, and I happened to have all of the ingredients in my pantry. It was so easy to mix these cookies up in my KitchenAide Mixer (which was the best present I ever bought myself!).  If you love peanut butter and butterscotch like I do, then you'll love these cookies!

1 roll refrigerated sugar cookie dough

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

3 Tblsp packed dark brown sugar

1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1 1/4 cup butterscotch morsels

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray cookie sheet.

Break up cookie dough in bowl, let stand for 10-15 minutes to soften.

Add peanut butter, brown sugar, vanilla, and butterscotch morsels; mix well.

Drop by teaspoonfuls on prepared cookie sheets.

Bake for 10-13 minutes or until golden at edges. 

Transfer cookies to wire racks and cool completely.

What I did:

I pretty much did everything that the recipe said, and the cookies turned out great! I ended up cooking mine for 10 minutes, and that worked perfectly for my oven. It really works to use the teaspoon to doll out cookie dough, because it makes a nice bite-sized cookie to eat.

Enjoy!
