Butterscotch Gingerbread Cookies

This is a new one for me.

About a month ago somebody at work offered me a Gingerbread Butterscotch Cookie. I was not going to have one because I was actually trying to make better food choices, but I did not want to be rude and I really wanted to taste the cookie :) I was surprised by how much I loved the cookie. I don't know about you, but I had never tried gingerbread and butterscotch together. Let me tell you they are amazing together!!! They definitely have the Christmas feel with the spice of the Gingerbread, but they are a chewy cookie with the sweetness of butterscotch. If you are snowed in today (like me) you should go make these.
