great cookies. I just finished getting the last batch out of the oven. I tried one after it had cooled...ended up having a couple more before I was done baking them all. I was looking to give cookies to neighbors, so the size worked. I also added butterscotch chips, which made them great. I even got mine to be fluffy. Crisp on the outside and soft in the middle. 12 minutes worked great for my oven on the second from the top rack. I will definitely make them again.

This is a great, simple brown sugar cookie. BUT, for a chewier cookie, I melt the butter instead of creaming. (This rule goes for all cookies that you want chewiness from - molasses, chocolate chip,etc). The original recipe is good, but I agree adding butterscotch chips to it turns it into a bakery quality cookie. I make mine large, bakery size (walnut size dough balls) and bake for about 13 min. I just make half the recipe too - 2 eggs, 2 1/2 cups flour, 3/4 cup melted butter) This is a great alternative for chocolate chip cookies and perfect for those who can't eat chocolate but can still get that sweet fix.

This does make a LOT of cookie dough! I added a bag of butterscotch chips, and about a cup of chopped pecans as others have suggested. When I saw how much dough the recipe makes, I thought I would be there forever making individual cookies, so put everything into a greased jelly roll pan, reduced the oven temp by 25 degrees and increased baking time. Checked with a wooden toothpick for doneness. Very chewy and good!!!

This does make a huge batch. I took half of the batch and baked per directions, and the other half I added a bag of butterscotch chips. My father loves butterscotch and he loved these cookies!

Absolutely delicious! They turned out perfect and beautiful. I had lost my favorite old time butterscotch cookie recipe and was looking for a replacement. This worked great and the cookies are just what I wanted. I did decrease the flour a little. I made a third of a batch just to try it out and for that amount I used 1 1/3 Cups flour which would work out to 4 Cups if your making the big-batch. They were perfect!

This recipe is decent, although huge. I divided it in half (using 2 eggs, not 1 1/2!) If you're a big fan of butterscotch, these cookies are wonderful. I added a small bag of Nestle Butterscotch chips to this recipe, and the cookies are great. Thanks for this recipe.

These are awsome! I made 1/3 of the recipe and added butterscotch chips and pecans as another reviewer suggested. These are a new favorite cookie, and something that I have never had before! I didn't have cream of tartar, but it was fine without.

Very good recipe. I halved it as well, since I was only making them for a few people. I added in a half bag of Butterscotch chips, as well as some crushed Wether's Original candies I had on hand. The cookies were not quite as chewy as I usually like, but that very well might be my oven, which is "touchy" to put it nicely. At any rate, the cookies were quite good. I'd give them a 4/5.
