Key Ingredients:

  • Butterscotch: Butterscotch morsels is the easiest way to get that butterscotch flavor into your cookie.
  • Butter: Use melted, room temperature butter. A vegan substitute is coconut oil.
  • Egg: The binding agent. Vegan substitutes would be an egg replacer, flax egg, or 2 tbsp almond butter.
  • Nutmeg: A secret kick to delicious flavor in this cookie!
  • Cookie Butter: The best cookie butters are Biscoff, Nuccina and Trader Joes! Cookie butter isn’t only good for cookies, you can spread this on your banana, toast, oats, yogurt, or even blend this into your favorite smoothie. We want this cookie butter thick (which is how it normally comes). If you’re cookie butter is a melted liquid, try placing it in the fridge for 15-20 minutes before scooping & placing in the center of the cookie.
  • Pecans: A nutty crunch to top it all off! If you’re looking for alternatives we recommend substituting peanuts or walnuts.

Since this is a single serve cookie, we’re not gonna fill this post with things you don’t wanna know. Let’s get right to this cookie!
