Butterscotch Cookies Recipe
I haven’t baked in awhile and I had the craving for some cookies, butterscotch cookies that is. This is a simple and very easy recipe that uses butterscotch chips, butter and sugar to give the cookies great flavor. They were so good that as I am writing this article there is none left! This recipe uses crispy rice cereal to make the cookies perfectly crispy with a little crunch but yet still slightly chewy making the texture great. Be sure not to over bake them because they will get kind of hard if you do. There are so many great ways to make cookies and if you haven’t tried butterscotch chip yet give this recipe a try! Enjoy.
Ingredients:
½ cup butter (softened)
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
2 cups crisp rice cereal
1 cup butterscotch chips
Cooking Instructions:
Step 1: In a large bowl cream butter and sugar until the mixture is fluffy. Add in vanilla and egg and mix well. Add salt, flour, and baking soda. Mix well. Stir in the crisp rice cereal and butterscotch chips. Step 2: Drop dough by the rounded teaspoon onto a greased cookie sheet.
Step 3: Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.

Looks tasty! I love the addition of rice crispy cereal!
Yummy, they sound delicious.
i adore butterscotch chips. i realize that they don’t really taste anything like true butterscotch, but i love ‘em anyway. in fact, oatmeal scotchies are my favorite cookie. i’ll have to give these a try–there might be a dethroning.
Those cookies look so good! I even have a bag of butterscotch chips just waiting to be used.
I can’t believe that they have No flour in them!! They look so good. Thanks for sharing all of these great recipes but I am still waiting for a delivery at my door!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oooh, these look great. Okay, specifically rice crispy cereal or a crispy rice cereal??? Guess I COULD just try it and find out for myself huh?
Now I’m craving cookies…..
I love anything with butterscotch. It’s too bad that more baked goods are not utilizing that flavor. But those cookies look delicious.
Surprise for you in my blog;)
I’ve never used rice krispies in my cookies. I will have to try this.
Thanks for the comments everyone! I hope everyone enjoys the recipe.

Again thank you! I made these tonight and they are good – taste very much like an oatmeal scotchie – very sweet – i just ate a warm one!
WOW! I just made these and they’re awesome! Nice and crunchy, only thing I might try to add is a drizzle of chocolate across the top, but they’re just perfect as-is!
these are so good!!!!!! great recipe
made these cookies today and they were very tasty… the rice krispies give it a nice crunch. I cant wait to try other recipes on this site!!!
made these last week, Very Yummy Cookies, I added half a cup of sugar instead of the full cup, im making them again tonite
kids love them!!!
Made 2 batches of these cookies this morning. Delicious. I though it was too sweet so I cut the sugar down to 1/2 C instead of 1 C.
I made these last night. I swapped out half the butter for half as much yogurt and the texture was still perfect! I think I will cut back significantly on the sugar next time as the chips are already so sweet. Also thinking about trying cinnamon chips. But this is a terrific recipe, thank you! The Rice Krispies are a brilliant idea and make the texture so perfect, they add a lovely lightness and crispness to them. My kids love them! I blogged them as well.
