Apple Butterscotch Cookies
I have joined another group of like-minded bloggers who love COOKIES!!!!! Nothing better than a great tasting, delicious cookie. This month’s theme is fun, it screams fall and it is APPLES!!
Not the most traditional of cookie ingredients but one that I was more than willing to take on.
This cookie is not mine originally. The base of it is from a wonderfully generous and amazing friend, Angie Girous-Shilladay who sacrifices her time, money, and energy to go around the world once a year and build homes or facilities for impoverished nations.
A truly wonderful person and one who I support totally in her mission. She generously made delicious cookies in exchange for a donation for her next trip abroad. They were the best cookies ever!!
They inspired me to make these Apple Butterscotch Cookies for my daughter’s volleyball team. They loved them, they raved about them, they are still talking about them!!
They were one of the best cookies I have ever made and will for sure make them again. I hope you try them too!! So easy and so delicious. ENJOY!!!
