Probably the best cookies ever!

I could really do without winter for the rest of my life. The only worth while things about winter in my opinion are Christmas and staying inside when it's cold to bake cookies. I tried this recipe for the first time last week and holy smokes they are so good. I may or may not have eaten a half a dozen before the whole batch was finished cooking. Good luck not getting addicted. Ingredients 1/2 cup of softened butter 1 cup of granulated sugar 1 cup of packed brown sugar 1 teaspoon of baking powder 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda 1/2 teaspoon of salt 2 eggs 2 teaspoons of vanilla 2 cups of flour 3/4 cup of chopped salted, roasted cashews(you could really use any nut for this macadamias are also amazing) 2/3 cup of butterscotch chips Process Preheat oven to 375. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter, sugars, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix until butter and other ingredients are creamed together. Add eggs and vanilla and beat until combined. Beat in as much flour as possible with mixer. Using a wooden spoon, stir in any remaining flour. Stir in cashews and butterscotch pieces. Drop dough by rounded teaspoons two inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Allow to cool on a cookie rack. Serves 12-24 or one hungry cook.
