These soft, buttery cutouts are always a hit, plus you can flavor the dough any way you like. I've used almonds, walnuts...even maraschino cherries. -Kerry Barnett-Amundson, Ocean Park, Washington

I'm not a big fan of butterscotch, but these cookies were still really good. The chocolate chips really balance out the sweetness.

These cookies were a little too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I'll probably cut down on the sugar next time.

I've tried this recipe a few times and I can never get the cookies to turn out right. They always end up too dry.
