This is a new one for me.
About a month ago somebody at work offered me a Gingerbread Butterscotch Cookie. I was not going to have one because I was actually trying to make better food choices, but I did not want to be rude and I really wanted to taste the cookie :) I was surprised by how much I loved the cookie. I don't know about you, but I had never tried gingerbread and butterscotch together. Let me tell you they are amazing together!!! They definitely have the Christmas feel with the spice of the Gingerbread, but they are a chewy cookie with the sweetness of butterscotch. If you are snowed in today (like me) you should go make these.
Butterscotch Gingerbread Cookies

Oh this is so dangerous...I have all the ingredients at home. Thanks for sharing this gem.
Those look delicious!
wow, would have never thought that would be a combo to put together, but now I MUST try it!
Oh my, these look delicious! I love gingerbread AND butterscotch, buy why have i never thought of putting them together! I want to make these today.
Had to try these - I agree that I too would have never put these 2 items together - but they are delicious! After I was making them, I realized the butterscotch probably has the same "sweet" effect that white chocolate drizzle has over a regular gingerbread cookie! Very good, will definitely keep in the Christmas cookie box for next year!
hmm.I would have never put these two together..but it does sound awesome!
Risa - are these the cookies from the cookie exchange??
If so - they were amazing!
these are the cookies Krystal. I promised you I would post the recipe :)
