Peanut Butter Butterscotch Cookies

Peanut Butter Butterscotch Cookies - peanut butter cookies filled with butterscotch chips.

 

Second cookie this week and it's a peanut butter butterscotch cookie for the peanut butter bash! December's ingredients are.. you guessed it, peanut butter and butterscotch. I did a slight variation from my peanut butter chocolate chip cookies that I posted Tuesday. When I say slight variation, I added butterscotch chips instead of milk chocolate chips and that's it.

Butterscotch is one of my many, many favorites. My favorites list is pretty long, if you haven't noticed. I'm basically always saying something else is my favorite. There's one thing that we know for sure, peanut butter is at the tippy top. I could eat it all day, every day. Don't tell anyone, but sometimes I just eat a big spoon of peanut butter from the jar. Speaking of, I just polished off my jar of extra chunky pb that way.

Last night I had one of these fresh out of the oven. It was hot and completely gooey. I sat down next to my cookie monster husband who sort of gave it the eye. Since I'm occassionally a sharing kind of wife,  I waved it in front of him without telling him that it was piping hot. He took a bite and had quite the surprise. He gave me the business, I think. All I could hear was a muffled yell, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't a thank you babe.

I polished it off while it was still gooey. I didn't even need a hot cup of coffee to soften it. After they cool, you will need that cup of coffee. The gooey factor goes away.
