Tips & Substitutions
For a chewier texture, consider reducing the flour slightly or adding an extra egg. You can substitute half of the butter with applesauce for a lighter version. If you're short on time, skip the refrigeration step, but chilling helps the flavors meld and the dough firm up for easier slicing. Serve these cookies with a hot beverage for the best experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use white sugar instead of brown sugar?
While brown sugar gives these cookies their signature flavor and moisture, you can use white sugar in a pinch. However, the cookies may be less chewy and have a different taste. For the best results, stick with brown sugar for that rich butterscotch flavor.
How can I make these cookies softer?
To achieve softer cookies, try reducing the baking time by a couple of minutes and ensuring you don't overmix the dough. Adding a bit of milk or an extra egg can also enhance the moisture, making the cookies softer and chewier.
What can I add to the dough for extra flavor?
You can fold in chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit like cranberries for added texture and flavor. Spices like cinnamon or nutmeg can also complement the butterscotch. Experiment with different mix-ins to make these cookies your own!
