Seven Layer Cookies

I was flipping through some of Phyllis's old recipe books the other day when I noticed that she had marked her favorite recipes in the back of each book. In order for her to remember what recipes she likedfrom each cookbook she wrote the page number along with the name of the recipe, making it easy to find all of her favorites.

As soon as I saw this I began to flip back and forth to see which recipes she liked best and was so excited to see that she had marked a recipe for Seven Layer Cookies. I absolutely love these cookies and practically ate my weight in them this past Christmas while visiting my aunt and uncle.

The chips of chocolate and butterscotch help to give this classic recipe its delicious taste but can easily be substituted for something different (white or dark chocolate). I personally love them just the way they are.
