Great little cookies!!! This is a wonderful cookie recipe!! Perfect with no burn on the bottom, same color on top as bottom which I love!!!! I thought it was interesting that the soda and salt was added to the butter, it is usually added to the flour and sifted in so this was unique and maybe it had something to do with the awesome outcome!!!! I halved this recipe and I still came out with 49 little cookies!!! I baked these for 7 minutes exactly and it was the perfect baking time!! Love the butterscotch with cashews, wonderful combination!!! Will definitely make these again, thanks!!!
