Chocolate Cookie Recipe

Chocolate Butterscotch Cookies

Honey. Sweetheart. Snookums. Sweets. Cookie. Stay with me…

I’m trying to see how many terms of endearment I might know. Babe. Mama. Big Daddy. Ewww! That one sounds like it should be used elsewhere, and never here.

How about Sweetpea? Anyone use that one? What do you call your significant other?

I say “Honey” or “Sweets”. Very original, I know. As long as he answers to my call, who cares what name I use, right?

Chocolate Cookie Recipe

Can I let you in on a little something? I want to call everyone a cutesy name. Sweets is my favorite. I feel that almost everyone in this world is sweet. In my little boxy world, there’s no evil. And if there is, I will kill it with my cookies.

Speaking of…

I’d like to take this moment to request that you make these Chocolate Butterscotch Cookies for yourself your sweetheart on Valentine’s Day. Especially if one of you is having a so-so day. These cookies will heal you. No matter what you are huffing and puffing about, these cookies will make it all better.

They are sensational. MAGICAL! Trust me on this one. You want this baby in your face! It’s thin, soft, gooey, chocolatey. And butterscotchy. And they melt in your mouth.

I promise you that after Snookums takes that first bite, he/she will be begging for more cookies.

Now if I could just make my Snookums clean up the mess I made while working on these gems…

ENJOY!

    I call everyone darling (in my head, because I’m too shy). It makes me feel taller…less hobbit-ish.

    These cookies are beautiful! It’s hard to find recipe that call for butterscotch chips (why?). Love your photos!

    I had to laugh at Sweet Pea. That’s my son’s sled hockey name. You’d think the teen would be annoyed when mom is yelling “Sweet Pea! Defense!” but apparently he finds it endearing.

    Kate, these look yummy–I’ll have to see if I have butterscotch chips. I know I’ve got some sort of non-chocolate chips in the back of the cabinet.

    Thanks!
