- 2 cups butterscotch chips Can substitute with white chocolate chips for variation.
- 2 cups chocolate chips Use semi-sweet or dark chocolate for richer flavor.

- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the sheet, leaving space between each cluster.
- Allow cookies to cool at room temperature or refrigerate to speed up the setting process.

Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container with parchment paper layers to prevent sticking. They stay fresh for about a week. For variations, consider adding crushed pretzels or dried fruits.
