Butterscotch Coffee Drops

Category: , , , ,

Hi.  It's been a while, hasn't it?  With our current snack rotation at church it can be months between my last time on and the next.

It's a busy weekend around here.  We're having a pulled pork taco party, plus a party for our "how did she get old enough to be 4" daughter. There is a carnival and parade and fireworks to attend, and general, normal household things to take care of.

And church snack.  Amid the business I was just going to make basic chocolate chip cookies.  I intended to.  I got the recipe out and got started.  Then I looked in the freezer and saw butterscotch chips.  Hmm, okay.  But they're so sweet.  What would balance that?  Cocoa.  Yeah, but I don't really like chocolate butterscotch cookies.  Coffee?  Hmmmm.  Coffee is bitter and would definitely do the trick.  So I modified my recipe and came up with these (I really need something besides a blue plate for pictures)



Butterscotch Coffee Drops

3/4 C soft butter
1 C dark brown sugar
1 egg
1 T corn syrup
1 T instant coffee granules
1 T vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
2 C flour
1 C butterscotch chips

Preheat oven to 350F.

Beat together the butter, sugar and egg until fluffy.  Add the corn syrup, coffee, vanilla and salt and mix.  Scrape down the bowl, add the baking soda, flour and chips and beat briefly until combined.

Using a small disher or teaspoon, drop small balls of dough on a parchment lined baking sheet.  Bake for 12 minutes, until golden.

Makes 5 dozen small cookies.
