I was never really a butterscotch fan that was until I met my husband, who literally love butterscotch chips more than chocolate chips.

He is always telling me that I need to make butterscotch cookies but I haven’t yet because the rest of us love chocolate chips so much. He decided to take matters into his on hands and used my Monster Cookie recipe and subbed all the M&M’s and chocolate chips for butterscotch chips – and it turned out amazing.

Recipe Tips

  • Don’t overbake—gluten-free cookies firm up as they cool and stay chewier inside.
  • Choose creamy peanut butter for smoother dough and better moisture.
  • Let cookies cool on the pan for a few minutes so they set without crumbling.
  • If you want them extra chewy, slightly underbake and let them finish setting as they cool.

How to make Chewy Butterscotch Cookies?

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

In a large mixing bowl beat together butter and peanut butter until well combined. Add brown sugar, granulated sugar, honey and vanilla and beat until smooth.
