Crispy Polynesian Butterscotch Cookies

Jodies Kitchen Crispy Polynesian Butterscotch Cookies

 

I will be honest I am not a Butterscotch fan at all.I don't hate the flavor,its just something I normally don't go for.

 

When Mom said she had a recipe for these cookies she wanted me to try,I must say I wasn't very excited. When I finally took my first bite,I was hooked instantly, and did eat 3.

 

Now did I all the sudden love Butterscotch? No not at all,but these were delicious.They are crispy but also have a slight chew to them.

 

There is a lot that goes into these,but I promise it is well worth it.When telling a friend about these cookies the other day,she said she had eaten

 them many times.I guess it was something I had never tried before since not being a butterscotch fan. 

Even if your not a big butterscotch fan but are a cookie lover I suggest you give these a try.Just look at all the lovely ingredients,no way these wont be a hit with your family as well.
