BUTTERSCOTCH SHORTBREAD COOKIES BY SUSAN

We baked three different kinds of shortbread cookies for Christmas this year. Plain shortbread, Lavender shortbread, and these - butterscotch. I couldn't tell you which was my favorite, but I can tell you they were all enjoyed by everyone! This recipe is my adaptation of a traditional Scots Shortbread.

Very easy to make and they taste fabulous. I have tried it with all flavors of chips - - chocolate, butterscotch, white chocolate. If you use normal size chips, it will make slightly less than the 3 dozen.
