Brown sugar adds a tender chewy texture while the vanilla extract brings out flavor notes on all levels.
Dixie Crystals Sugar, Taylor & Colledge Extracts
These are the two sponsored products I used in making the cookies.
The scotchies have a wholesome goodness that is old-fashioned in nature. A perfect fall flavor, they can find their way into lunch pails as a room temp dessert or make a great after-school snack with a glass of cold milk.
I used both caramel and butterscotch chips to provide a complex flavor profile. And the amount is perfect for this batch of cookies. I don’t like cookies with skimpy amounts of chips. And I know already that everyone loves these! So do give them a try.
