Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 c 1 and 1/2 sticks (6 oz) salted butter softened
6 oz softened cream cheese (1/4 of an 8 oz pkg.
3/4 c white (granulated) sugar
3/4 c brown sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking soda
2 large eggs
3 c flour (pack it down when you measure it.)
1 c butterscotch chips (6 oz)
1 c white chocolate chips
1 1/2 c salted, chopped cashews. measure before chopping

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees In a large bowl, mix the softened butter, softened cream cheese, white sugar and brown sugar until they are light and fluffy Mix in the vanilla and the baking soda.
  • 2. Add the eggs one at a time mixing after each addition. (if using the electric mixer) stop now as you will have to add and mix the last three ingredients by hand.
  • 3. Add the Butterscotch chips to your bowl and stir them in. Add the white chocolate chips to your bowl and mix thoroughly. NOTE: i used two squares of Whie Almond Bark for mine chopped. Add the chopped salted cashews and mix well.
  • 4. Drop the dough by a mounded teaspoonful on cookie sheet. (At this point it stated UNGREASED pan) however, I sprayed mine lightley with pan oil. They came out fine. They tended to stick on the ungreased one. Flatten the cookies a bit with th blade of a spatula or your impeccably clean palm. They will spread a little more in the oven but not a lot.
  • 5. Bake for about 10 minutes or until they are golden on top. Let them cool for a minute or two and transfer to cookie rack to cool completely Yields about 4 1/2 dozen.
