I originally shared this recipe in December 2012, but for some reason unpublished it. I found it in my website files and decided this one needs to be out there on the internet! This vintage recipe for Butterscotch Spoondoodles is incredibly easy to make if you need a quick treat to take somewhere.

They are more like candy than a cookie with the sweetness of the butterscotch morsels and honey. Our family always made them with walnuts, but I think you could easily switch them out for pecans if you prefer those.

Enjoy!
