Hello My Imaginary Friends,

I’ve been challenged invited to take part in a Virtual Cookie Exchange, hosted by the wonderful Linda Poitevin.

VirtualCookie-Exchange-Blog-Hop-1

I was invited by the great, and powerful, S.M. Carrière. Find her recipe here.

The idea is to give a cookie recipe and invite 4 other creative types to do the same.

Peanut Butter, Butterscotch Chip Cookies

Adapted from “Purity Cook Book: The Complete Guide to Canadian Cooking” 1970’s edition. This as the first recipe I ever made one my own.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Lightly Grease a Baking Sheet.

Sift together:

  • 1 1/4 Cups Flour
  • 1/2 TSP of Baking Soda
  • 1/8 TSP Salt

Cream Together:

  • 2/3 Cup Peanut Butter (Preferably Crunchy)
  • 1/2 Cup Shortening (I use Margarine or Vegetable shortening)

  • 1/2 Cup of Granulated (AKA White) Sugar
  • 1/2 Cup of Butterscotch Chips

Blend in:

  • 1 Egg

Stir in dry ingredients. Shape into small balls, using a tablespoon, and place on greased baking sheet about 3 inches apart. Press 1/2 inch thick with a fork.
