… she’ll eat them all in one sitting while watching Thelma and Louise.
Which is why I SHARE. 
Every now and then I just want to bake stuff. I dunno why, maybe its some weird in-born genetic womanly type thing, but I go through these phases where I go on a baking spree and I end up with like a dozen different varieties of cookies and cakes and bread and who knows what else.
I had a craving for cookies tonight, so I decided to try my hand at making up my own chocolate chip variety. I’m calling it “Jessica’s Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Macadamia Nut Delight.”
Here’s the recipe:
Jessica’s Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Macadamia Nut Delight Cookies:
- 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 c. brown sugar, packed
- 3/4 c. sugar
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 package semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 package butterscotch morsels
- 2 2.5 oz. packages of chopped macadamia nuts
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F
- Combine flour, baking soda and salt in a bowl and set aside
- Cream brown sugar, sugar, butter, and vanilla
- Add eggs and beat
- Add dry ingredients and mix well
- Stir in chocolate chips, butterscotch morsels and nuts
- Either drop by rounded spoonfulls OR, I like to roll a spoonful into a ball and press down slightly for a more uniform cookie shape.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes
- DEVOUR!!!!!! or, share with friends.
Yummmmmmm I will try it. The boys love cookies….so do I and i LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!! Butterscotch. I could eat all the morsels before they get in the dough.
The cookies sound great! I will definitely have to give them a try sometime in the very near future. In the short term though, I am left wondering if we shall see a new post prior to July 4th or not – at which point it shall be a full month. I know there are plenty of things in your life that are worthy of posting about over the last 30 days – so give us something. HINTS: Oscar, winning what was it, 37.00 dollars on one race, the very WONDERFUL house of friends in Fredricksburg, the remodeling that Bitzer helped along, bookshelves, and lovely flower/statue pictures.
YUMMY….cookies!!! Thanks for sharing the recipe!!!
Ray’s right, you HAVE to write about the exploits of Oscar and Usta….with photos!!! :O)
XOXO
Would love to have a cookie and be seeing Oscar and Usta right about now.
