About

Everyone loves chocolate chip cookies of all types, and these have a strong butterscotch flavor emphasized by the brown sugar and combination of milk and dark chocolate chunks in them. After you cut up the chocolate, place it in a strainer with fairly wide mesh and sift away the dust formed by cutting it—the cookies will have a neater appearance.
