CARAMEL VS BUTTERSCOTCH RECIPES

Steps:

• Sift flours, baking soda, baking powder and salt into a bowl and set aside.
• Using a mixer with a paddle attachment, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Reduce speed and add eggs one at a time, then add vanilla.
• Slowly add dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
• Fold in chocolate chips by hand. Refrigerate dough for24-36 hours.
• DO NOT SKIP REFRIGERATION.
• When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350°F. Remove dough from refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature.
• Drop spoonfuls (2-3 tablespoons) of dough onto baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
• Cool on wire rack.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Lightly grease 2 baking sheets. In the bowl of a mixer, combine the butter and vanilla. Add 1/2 cup of the sugar, then slowly add the flour and pecans and mix just until combined. Use your hands to roll the dough into balls about 3/4-inch in diameter, and arrange them on the baking sheets. Bake 15 to 20 minutes, until golden brown. Meanwhile, spread the remaining confectioners' sugar out on a plate. When the cookies are done, remove from the oven, let cool 3 to 5 minutes, and then roll each cookie in the sugar until coated, letting each rest in the sugar for a minute to absorb it. Let cool completely on wire racks, then store in airtight containers.
