Sweet Corn + Butterscotch Cookies

I promise I'm not just trying to be weird.  I promise I'm not just trying to be weird.  I promise I'm not just trying to be weird.

I'm all about the standard Thanksgiving fare.  Give me turkey and gravy, different kinds of stuffing, cranberry sauce, etc.  I love it all, and will eat it until I feel adequately gluttonous.  This year, though, I thought it would be fun to mix things up a bit. These cookies were my attempt at doing so.  No one cried, or yelled, or told me I wasn't American because I put corn into a cookie.  There were no screams of "socialist!" or comments about how my liberal views of appropriate tThanksgiving cuisine were ruining traditional family values.  So, that was cool.  

Quick profile of these cookies:

  • Chewy because of the corn kernels
  • Super butterscotchy because of the butterscotch morsels
  • Slightly crispy on the outside but not in a weird way
