I had a family size (30oz) roll of cookie dough so I doubled the recipe except for the amount of chips used. I used 1 cup butterscotch chips and because I ran out, 1 cup of chocolate chips. These were good, I think I am not wowed by the combination of PB and Butterscotch though. My sister loved them, and I made them for her, so I still give it 4 stars. Thanks! -
I thought if I just left the dough out of the fridge for half an hour, it'd soften up enough; but no, I think you really do have to break it up before you wait! lol. I also discovered after adding 1.25 cups butterscotch chips, that I only had 16+ ounces of dough. D'oh! So I left many chips in the bottom of the bowl. 1 cup would have been enough. Leaving aside all that ;) , it was really easy to make and very yummy. A very sweet treat! Reviewed for Photo Tag's Cookie Exchange. -
Love the flavor combinations here Mary of both p.b. and butterscotch. Never mixed the two together b/f and love the results. So quick and easy w/the already made up cookie dough. A great idea for letting the kids get involved with the baking too. Thanks for the idea and recipe. Made for PhotoTag~

I was looking for a recipe that was quick and easy to give my neighbors for Christmas. I had leftover butterscotch chips. I don't particularly like them, though I love peanut butter (I used chunky). So, I made this recipe (without the brown sugar). Be careful how many cookies you give away - these things are ADDICTIVE. The best, the very best peanut butter cookies I've ever tasted. Very moist, very flavorful and I will do them again. Thanks!!! -
I love making cookies that start with sugar cookie dough. I used crunchy peanut butter and 1/2 butterscotch chips and 1/2 peanut butter chips. Great cookie and quite sweet. Probably doesn't need the extra brown sugar.

I have two boys who will usually eat most things I put in front of them. As a single mom I use them as my guinea pigs....sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I have a huge garden, blueberry and blackberry bushes. I am always looking for a new recipe. I have three cats (Xiao Mao, which means little cat in Chinese, Pumpkin and Max) and two border collies, Lucy and Grace. All my animals come from Rescue Agencies.
