YUMMY! I love butterscotch anything so these were GREAT! I did use 1/2 cup regular butter and 1/4 cup shortening. I omitted the pecans because I was out but can see how they would be nice in this. They are nice and soft and puffy and intensly butterscotchy. I baked mine on greased cookie sheets for 10 minutes. I scooped the dough out with overflowing 1/2 tablespoons and ended up with 38 cookies for a half recipe.

I loved these! I made a batch for a church group meeting, and I got a million compliments on them. No one had ever heard of cookies w/ schnapps before, but this recipe mada lot of fans of the idea.

My husband and I enjoyed these cookies. I didn't have butterscotch schnapps, so I subbed apple juice. I halved the recipe for just the two of us, and skipped the nuts so DH could eat these.They came out nice and soft. Thanks Rita!
