Butterscotch cookies

Firstly apologies for the long delay for the long break between posts (I see quite a few of you have been checking in!:) ). I have been away on holiday and have started full time work so it’s probably going to be a bit slow on the blogging (and baking) front until I adapt to my new more demanding schedule. But for now here are some yummy cookies. These cookies are from Sainsbury’s baking book collection. They only require a few ingredients and are very easy and quick to make. They are very buttery and very sweet. Crisp on the outside and chewy in the middle and dotted with chewy bits of butterscotch pieces. They are easy to over bake so best to check on them early. Also use really good quality parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet to stop the butterscotch from sticking to the paper…..
