Tips for making cookies with butterscotch chips
I love making these cookies with shortening rather than butter. The shortening melts differently than butter does, resulting in a softer and chewier cookie. If you don’t want to miss the rich flavor that butter adds to cookies, I would recommend using a butter flavored shortening.
Butterscotch, though similar to caramel has its own distinct flavor. The difference in the flavor comes from the molasses and brown sugars used to make the butterscotch which gives it a deep smokey flavor.
