Ingredients

  • 1 cup Crisco
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons maple syrup
  • 2 3/4 cups flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
  • 1 11 ounce package of butterscotch chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a mixing bowl cream together shortening and sugars.
  • Add in eggs and maple syrup. Beat well.
  • Sift together flour, salt, baking soda and cream of tartar, and add to wet ingredients. Mix well.
  • Fold in butterscotch chips.
  • Scoop with a 1/4 cup measuring scoop or cookie scoop and roll into balls. Press down the tops slightly, but do not flatten.
  • Bake for 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Centers will still look a little underdone, but it's okay. Leave them on the cookie sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.

Notes

If you make these a normal cookie size, decrease the baking time to about 8 minutes.
