Today is Cookie Swap posting day! If you remember, I'm cohosting "Gingerbread and Sugared Things"-a virtual cookie swap with some super sweet ladies!
Co hosting today are:
Julie @ White Lights on Wednesday/Jaime @ Mom's Test Kitchen/Deb @ Cooking on the Front Burner/Carrie @ The Frugal Foodie Mama/Michelle @ Michelle's Tasty Creations/Kim @ The Sunflower Supper Club
You'll be able to see all the sweet cookies we have exchanged and made! I was privileged to get a recipe from Elizabeth @ The Law Student's Cookbook. It makes a cakey, sweet, yummy cookie-perfect for Christmas parties and to share with everyone!
Butterscotch Chocolate Cookies
Ingredients:
1/4 cup shortening
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cup butterscotch chips
3/4 cups powdered sugar
Directions:
*In a small pot, over low heat, melt the shortening and chocolate chips. Let cool for five minutes. Mix with the sugar, eggs, condensed milk, and vanilla.
*Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and butterscotch chips. Stir the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir until there's no dry spots left.
*Cover and refrigerate for 1 1/2 hours.
*Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and heat your oven to 350.
*Roll the dough into 1 Tablespoon size balls. Pour the powdered sugar into a shallow dish.
*Roll the balls in powdered sugar and place on the baking sheet 1 1/2 inches apart. Take a spoon and gently flatten each cookie.
*Bake for 11-13 minutes. Remove and cool.
Note: I didn't have shortening, so I used butter. And, I melted the butter and chocolate chips in the microwave instead of on the stove. I REALLY want to make these again, and substitute peanut butter chips for the butterscotch OR add some coffee to the batter. That would be SOOO good, too!
Thanks, Elizabeth, for sending me a yummy recipe! My family loves it!
