This is a great recipe. I used almond extract instead of vanilla, and substituted self-rising flour for the flour, baking powder & salt. (I used 1 1/2C plus 2 tsp.) I added 2/3 C of butterscotch chips and 2/3 C of of pecans. And then used my cookie scoop to put them into muffin cup liners that I had sprayed lightly with Bakers Pam, and they came out perfectly. I will definitely be using this recipe again!
