These cookies are another variation to the Chicago Crunch Cookies featured yesterday. You can mix it up by using whatever you have on hand as long as the ratios are right. Give this a try the next time you have butterscotch chips on hand!

Plugra and margarine in the same recipe? LOL
ReplyDeleteLol - I know. I tried it with all Plugra but the cookies just spread way too thin and didn't hold their shape at all. I guess margarine helps keep the cookie together.
ReplyDeleteProbably the cup of oil had something to do with spreading rather than butter, which keeps its shape well. This recipe is all over the place. Use great quality butter and mask with margarine and oil. Yeah.
ReplyDeleteLol... this isn't a healthy cookie by any means! I used Plugra butter since its what I typically have on hand but any unsalted butter brand will do. I'm sure the recipe is all over the place but wanted to credit the source I personally received it from. :)
