Really yummy, soft cookies! The use of butterscotch morsels sounded strange, but it turned out to add a lot to the cookies. I used 1-1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice instead of 1 tsp cinnamon, and I had to bake the cookies for 13-14 minutes. I'll definitely make these again!

Absolutely delicious! The cookie just melts in your mouth with the buttery taste of the butterscotch chips. I used 1 c. butterscotch chips and 1/2 c. chocolate chips. I increased the amount of cinnamon to 2 tsp. and added 1 tsp nutmeg.

Yummmmmmmmm!!!!!! Thanks, these are easy and delicious! Actually I used white candy chips, because I had them, and I'd guess that was at least as good as butterscotch! :)
