This recipe came from a mystery book I read that had recipes in it for cookies. The Author is JoAnne Fluke and this is her recipe. I made these and took them to the hospital where i volunteer in the Gift shop. I gave them out to various people and every single one told me this was a great tasting cookie. Myself, not a cookie lover, ate one and believe me.....I had more. These are a hit with my family and everyone that has tried one.

3/4 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda

How To Make butterscotch cashew cookies

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees In a large bowl, mix the softened butter, softened cream cheese, white sugar and brown sugar until they are light and fluffy Mix in the vanilla and the baking soda.

Step 2

Add the eggs one at a time mixing after each addition. (if using the electric mixer) stop now as you will have to add and mix the last three ingredients by hand.
Step 3

Add the Butterscotch chips to your bowl and stir them in. Add the white chocolate chips to your bowl and mix thoroughly. NOTE: i used two squares of Whie Almond Bark for mine chopped. Add the chopped salted cashews and mix well.
Step 4

Drop the dough by a mounded teaspoonful on cookie sheet. (At this point it stated UNGREASED pan) however, I sprayed mine lightley with pan oil. They came out fine. They tended to stick on the ungreased one. Flatten the cookies a bit with th blade of a spatula or your impeccably clean palm. They will spread a little more in the oven but not a lot.
Step 5

Bake for about 10 minutes or until they are golden on top. Let them cool for a minute or two and transfer to cookie rack to cool completely Yields about 4 1/2 dozen.
