My dad turned 60 this year, and I was trying to think of a fun dessert to make when he came over for pizza and board games one night. He's always liked butterscotch candies, so I decided to come up with a butterscotch cookie recipe, these turned out so much better than I expected. They are soft, and chewy, and the nutmeg really helps the other flavors pop!
Heavenly Nutmeg Butterscotch Cookies
Ingredients:
6 Tablespoons Salted Butter (softened)
3 Ounces Cream Cheese (softened)
3/8 Cup White Sugar
3/8 Cup Brown Sugar
2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
1 Egg
1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
2 teaspoons Nutmeg (fresh ground is best, but you can use ground nutmeg from the spice aisle.)
1 1/2 Cups Flour
3/4 Cup Butterscotch Chips
3/4 Cup White Chocolate Chips
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees, prepare baking sheets with cooking spray, parchment paper, or silicone baking mat, (I use these from Amazon.)
In your mixer bowl (or a large bowl if hand mixing) cream together butter, cream cheese, and both sugars. Add in vanilla and egg and mix until everything has been incorporated.
Add baking soda, nutmeg, and flour. Mix well. Add in both flavors of chips, and mix until chips are spread evenly thorough out your dough.
Drop cookies onto prepared cookie sheet using a cookie scoop or spoon. (12 should fit to a half sheet baking pan.)
Bake for 10-12 minutes. Remove and let cool about 10 minutes and then move to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
Store leftovers (if you have any!) in a zippy bag or plastic container.
(Dough can be refrigerated and then used within 2 days, just let it warm to room temperature before you scoop it.)
