Gingerbread Butterscotch Cookies

A Nestle Tollhouse Recipe

I make these cookies every December.  I LOVE them.  However, my husband just thinks they are "all right". He has very limited taste buds when it comes to desserts, much to my chagrin.  Thus, I usually only make them once a year, but really I think they are cravable and worthy of being made year-round.

Ingredients:

• 3 cups flour
• 2 tsp baking soda
• 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 1/2 tsp ground ginger
• 3/4 tsp ground cloves
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup butter
• 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1/3 cup light molasses
• 1 (11 oz) pkg Nestle Butterscotch flavored morsels

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and salt in a small bowl.  Beat butter, sugar, egg and molasses in a large mixer bowl until creamy.  Gradually beat in flour mixture until well blended.  Stir in morsels.  Drop by rounded tablespoons on to ungreased baking sheets.  Bake 9-11 minutes or until cookies are lightly browned.
