The family adores these and it is my go-to recipe. Makes a very large batch so use a sturdy mixer. There is a lot going on in the cookie but it works together really nicely. Calorie bombs for sure. We have used butterscotch morsels in place of half of the chocolate chips with excellent results.

My girlfriend passed this recipe along to me. We LOVE them. I used a cookie scoop, bakes for 16 minutes. I also added 1/2 C butterscotch chips, as my friend does, which puts this cookie over the top! Thanks for posting.
