This could possibly be the worst cookie I ever tasted. I too ended up thowing the whole batch in the trash but only after my husband made fun of them. What a waste of time and money! Really Taste of Home, I expect better!!!!

I baked these cookies tonight and after tasting the first one, I threw the entire batch in the trash. They are the worst cookies I have ever made - and I have been cooking and baking for over 50 years! I agree with the majority of the posts on this recipe - they are terrible! There is no 'cookie' taste or texture to them. They may be quick and cheap to make - but if they don't taste good - what's the point? I don't think I have EVER made a recipe from any of your magazines (and I subscribe to several) that I was not completely pleased with - but this one has gone to my shredder. Thanks for allowing me to reply. Vicki B.

I have to agree with the majority of those posting - I threw out all these cookies - well, all but the one I tasted. They had no sweet 'cookie' taste at all-not anything I would ever serve to guests. I have shredded the recipe.

Again, I am so sorry to hear of your disappointment with the Pecan Butterscotch Cookies. As you may be aware, we test every recipe published in Simple & Delicious in our Test Kitchen. After we saw this post, we retested this recipe three different ways because there can be some confusion regarding the mix that was called for in the recipe. We tried the cookie using one of the ingredients (below) for the 1 cup complete buttermilk biscuit mix in the ingredient list: 1 cup complete buttermilk pancake mix 1 cup biscuit/baking mix (regular Bisquick) -complete just add water 1 cup from the (7.5 oz) pouch complete Bisquick Biscuit Mix - Buttermilk flavor Our findings: The cookies tasted similar regardless of the product we used, and all of the products performed well in the Test Kitchen. We liked the buttermilk pancake mix the best, as it gave the cookie a slightly sweeter flavor. The ingredient in the recipe has been changed from 1 cup complete buttermilk biscuit mix to 1 cup complete buttermilk pancake mix. The dough was moist and held together better through rolling verses dropping by a tablespoon. The method has been changed to: Roll into 1-1/2-in. balls. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. If a slightly sweeter taste cookie is desired, we suggest dipping the glass in sugar before flattening the dough balls. In summary, we thought the recipe was a clever use of five ingredients to make a quick, pecan butterscotch cookie. Amy T. Food Editor, Simple & Delicious magazine
