Description
Chocolate-dipped butterscotch cookies.
Ingredients
- ½ cups Unsalted Butter
- ½ cups Shortening
- ½ cups Granulated Sugar
- 1 cup Brown Sugar
- 2 whole Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- ½ teaspoons Baking Soda
- 2-½ cups Flour
- 2 cups Nestle Toll House Butterscotch Flavored Morsels
- 2 cups Melting Chocolate (See Note, I Used Almond Bark)
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 375 F.
Beat together butter, shortening, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla and beat well. Add baking soda and flour and mix well. Mix in butterscotch chips.
Drop by spoonfuls onto a baking sheet, spacing them 1-2 inches apart. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Remove from oven. Let the cookies cool and set before dipping in chocolate.
Microwave melting chocolate for 1 minute and stir until smooth. If using regular chocolate and paraffin, it may be better to melt both in a double boiler over medium-low heat.
Dip the bottom of each cookie in the melted chocolate and set on wax paper to harden for 30 minutes.
Note: Melting chocolate hardens quickly and doesn’t melt as readily as chocolate chips. If you do use chocolate chips or bar chocolate, I recommend adding 2 ounces of paraffin wax (like Gulf Wax) to keep the chocolate from getting soft and melty at room temperature.
