#2918 - Peanut Butter Butterscotch Cookies

(by Shirley McNevich)

1 stick softened butter
1/2 cup Domino's dark brown sugar (packed)
1/2 cup white sugar
1 1/4 cups Jif smooth peanut butter
2 cups Nestle's butterscotch chips (1 cup melted; 1 cup NOT melted)
1 egg
2 tsp. vanilla
1 1/4 cups flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
small bowl of white sugar for rolling

In a mixer add softened butter, brown sugar and white sugar--beat. Add peanut butter--beat. Melt 1 cup butterscotch chips according to bag directions and add to batter--beat. Add egg, vanilla, baking soda and salt--beat. Slowly add flour--beat. Remove bowl from mixer--add 1 cup butterscotch chips--stir until mixed. Roll a dough ball about the size of a quarter in your hands, then roll it in the bowl of white sugar. Place it on a greased cookie sheet. Repeat with all dough--the cookies will spread when baking, so put the dough balls at least 2" apart. Bake at 350 degrees for 9-11 minutes. They are a soft cookie, so let them sit a few minutes before removing them from the cookie sheets. Place them on paper towels to cool.
