Butterscotch Chocolate Cookies
These cookies are soft, fudgey, and delicious. The original recipe called for peanut butter chips. The butterscotch chips I used though were delicious and I don't think I'd want the cookies any other way.
Makes about 48 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 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1 1/2 cups butterscotch chips
3/4 cup powdered sugar
Directions
1. In a small pot melt the shortening and chocolate chips. Let cool for 5 minutes. Mix in the sugar, eggs, condensed milk, and vanilla.
2. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and butterscotch chips. Stir to combine, so that there are no dry spots.
3. Cover and put in the refrigerator for 1 1/2 hours, until firm.
4. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 350.
5. Roll the dough into balls, 1 tbsp in size. Pour the powdered sugar into a shallow dish. Roll the balls in powdered sugar and place on a baking sheet 1 1/2 inches apart. Take a spoon and lightly flatten each cookie.
6. Bake for 11-13 minutes. Remove and let cool.
