Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a cookie sheet, spacing about 1 1/2 inches apart.
- Use a glass baking pan for best results.
- Bake for 8 to 12 minutes until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a softer texture, ensure your butter is at room temperature but not melted. You can substitute half of the butterscotch morsels with chocolate chips for a different flavor profile. If you prefer a nut-free version, simply omit the chopped nuts or replace them with additional butterscotch morsels. For best results, use a glass baking pan to achieve that perfect golden brown.
Serving Suggestions
These Soft Toll House Scotchies are perfect as a sweet treat with coffee or tea. They pair beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert. For a delightful dessert table, consider serving them alongside Wilma'S Oatmeal Cake or Ruth'S Chocolate Pound Cake With Cream Cheese Filling to offer a variety of flavors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these cookies gluten-free?
Yes, you can substitute regular flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Ensure that the blend contains xanthan gum for proper texture. The cookies may have a slightly different texture, but they should still be delicious.
What can I use instead of butterscotch morsels?
If you don't have butterscotch morsels, you can substitute them with chocolate chips or white chocolate chips. Alternatively, for a unique twist, try using peanut butter chips for an added flavor dimension.
How do I know when the cookies are done baking?
Cookies are typically done when they are golden brown around the edges and still slightly soft in the center. They will continue to cook slightly as they cool, so it's best to take them out of the oven just before they look fully baked.
