I gave up chocolate for lent and instantly started craving buttered pecans. I came up with this recipe by replacing the chocolate chips and walnuts in a chocolate chip cookie recipe with butterscotch chips and pecans. The butterscotch and the pecans go so well together -just like in butter pecan ice cream. Next time I would chop the butterscotch chips to get them more distributed through the cookie and actually add even more nuts, and possibly chop a little less. Maybe that is just because I am on a huge pecan kick, I don't know.
These are so good I though surely someone else had thought of this before, but in a quick Internet search I didn't find anything like this.
