Just got done baking a regular batch and then did another with butterscotch chips instead of chocolate. Mmmmm mmmmm good!

I substituted chopped, toasted walnuts for the candy-coated milk chocolate pieces and added 1 1/2 tsp. of pure vanilla extract. I flattened the cookies a bit with a fork dipped in warm water, and they spread out nicely. These cookies have become a favorite recipe with my family and friends.

These are so yummy! I made them without putting any chocolates in the batch and they still tasted excellent.

These cookies were tasty. They were just sweet enough, without being too sweet. I also had a problem with the baking, they didn't spread out flat but just remained like little mounds. Overall, its a good recipe.

I keep this dough in the freezer as Becky suggests - and my kids love them. Love having the option of stirring in different goodies!
