Chip Mixers

For Valentine's Day I made this appealing Food Network recipe for Mr. Sleuth.

I must say I was a little disappointed with them the evening I baked them. Yes, they were very buttery, and I could taste a hint of the brown sugar, but I mostly tasted butter. The next day, though, they lived up to their expectations. I was able to taste all of the flavors, and the cookies remained chewy and fresh. There is nothing better than a great make-ahead cookie! 

I made mine with an even mix of semi-sweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and butterscotch chips. I also added more than the recipe recommended as the dough looked sparse initially. You would be safe adding double the amount.

On a side note, I always snack on chocolate chips or some other mix-in when I'm making cookies. This time I just had a few butterscotch chips, and my stomach started to churn. Maybe I can finally say something is too sweet for me...
