Honey bourbon butterscotch cookies are the Christmas cookies you didn’t know you needed
Sometimes all a dreary December day needs to be transformed to a festive moment is a recipe with the nostalgia-inducing flavors of the holiday season.
Butterscotch is a delicious caramel-like blend of butter and brown sugar that gives holiday desserts an unparalleled rich, sweet flavor that decadently melts in your mouth.
Bourbon, another holiday flavor, impeccably partners with the oats, butterscotch chips, vanilla, and butter in this scrumptious holiday cookie idea.
