These cookies are one of my favorites to make, a close tie with good ol’ chocolate chip cookies. What makes them even better? The butterscotch chips were on sale recently AND I had a coupon! I usually make these as bars instead of cookies, mostly because I don’t have the patience to scoop out dough for individual cookies, then bake multiple pans of cookies. They end up tasting the same.
