NO flavor...they were soooo bland. I followed the recipe exactly. Put them in airtight container overnight, next day they were as hard as a rock. SOOO disappointing!

These are good, very peanut & peanut buttery. They aren't super sweet as far as cookies go. We made them 1/2 as big as the recipe says since our kids are smaller. Easier to handle if you put a few drops of water on your palms every 5 cookies or so.

I chopped the peanuts up instead of leaving them whole. Makes it easier to form cookies since there are other bigger ingreditents.

Yum! I stumbled on this trying to find a recipe with M&Ms. I'm glad I did. I didn't use butterscotch chips or nuts, but substituted semi-sweet chips and increased the M&Ms by about a 1/4 cup. I really flattened mine as much as possible so they would bake up a little crisper and they fall apart a bit, but once flattened, you can reassemble to make them look good. I'll use this one for bake sales or cookie exchanges anytime!

I made these cookies for my boyfriend to take with him before he left to go hunting one day. He loved them and was nice enough to share with his brothers and friends! (I snuck 1 or two to keep home for myself!) The boys raved about these cookies and asked me to send more the next day. I used semi-sweet chocolate chips in place of the butterscotch chips and they tasted wonderful. These are also good to have for an on-the-go breakfast! They're very dense so they really fill you up. I'll make these again SOON for sure! THIS RECIPE IS A KEEPER!

Very good! I didn't use butterscotch chips I used chocolate chips. They turned out very good! Everyone else loves them too!

These cookies are excellent! I do not add the peanuts or butterscotch chips. Instead I add Reese's peanut butter chips (found in the baking aisle next to chocolate chips). They are so tasty! My family is always asking for the recipe.

These cookies were excellent! I am 14 and these were easy to make and every one in the family really enjoyed them! Maybe use a little less flour though. Also it works to add chocolate chips instead of butterscotch. Just a couple tips.
