Butterscotch Snickerdoodle Cookies

Butterscotch Snickerdoodle Cookies | Mama Harris' KitchenThere’s certain smells and tastes that take me back to my childhood, and butterscotch is certainly one of the most vivid. My mother used to make this pudding and serve it in the cutest little pudding cups with long stems on them and I just couldn’t wait to dig in after dinner. Butterscotch was always my favorite flavor pudding, and now I try to incorporate the luscious flavor into as many treats as I possibly can, it’s such a simple but happy memory for me.

Butterscotch Snickerdoodle Cookies | Mama Harris' KitchenRecently I wanted to try my hand at a new butterscotch cookie, so I used my chocolate chip cookie recipe as a base. I’ve made butterscotch cookies before, however I wanted to combine some traditional favorites so I opted to make a butterscotch snickerdoodle cookie.I’ve also made a variation of snickerdoodles before, but it wasn’t a cookie. Viola, the butterscotch snickerdoodle was born, and it is just as amazing as you would imagine.

Butterscotch Snickerdoodle Cookies | Mama Harris' KitchenThis recipe combines everything I love in one. The perfect texture of my chocolate chip cookies, chewy and soft in the middle with a delightfully crispy edge, warm butterscotch chips that bring a different flavor to these cookies, and the kicked up spice of nutmeg and cinnamon in the cookie batter. It’s taken to an entirely new level when the cookie dough is rolled in cinnamon sugar, then baked just as snickerdoodle should be.

Butterscotch Snickerdoodle Cookies | Mama Harris' KitchenWith flavors like these, this is definitely a recipe for the holiday season. Whip up a batch of your own to add to the cookie tray or gift to your favorite person with a sweet tooth. Although the flavors are decidedly Fall themed, this cookie would be delicious year round!

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1.5 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 2 cups butterscotch chips
  • cinnamon sugar (2 tablespoons sugar PLUS 1/2 tablespoon cinnamon)

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Cream the butter and sugars using a stand mixer* on low speed, continuing to mix until smooth. Add vanilla and egg, beating until combined. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Once mixed together, slowly add to the creamed mixture until just incorporated. With a wooden spoon, carefully fold in the butterscotch chips, leaving a handful of chips aside to add to the tops of the cookies.
Butterscotch Snickerdoodle Cookies | Mama Harris' KitchenUsing a cookie dropper*, scoop your cookie, then carefully roll into a ball with your hands before adding to a bowl of cinnamon sugar. Roll generously in the cinnamon sugar mixture until all sides are covered.

Butterscotch Snickerdoodle Cookies | Mama Harris' KitchenPlace the rolled cookie dough on a baking sheet* lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat*, then add a few of the extra butterscotch chips to the tops.
It’s not necessary but it makes them pretty.

Butterscotch Snickerdoodle Cookies | Mama Harris' KitchenBake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, until golden. The centers will still be soft for a few more minutes, but the edges will be just starting to crisp.

Butterscotch Snickerdoodle Cookies | Mama Harris' KitchenRemove from baking sheet, then place on cooling racks* to cool completely.

Butterscotch Snickerdoodle Cookies | Mama Harris' KitchenOnce cooled, serve or store in an airtight container.

[Sponsored]: Summertime is coming and will be here before we know it! You all know that I love easy meals during the warmer months, and I also love a good meal in a bowl. It’s also Vidalia Onion season 🧅 so I paired this seasonal favorite with pan-seared shrimp and veggies as a light rice bowl using your choice of grains.☺️This meal is an absolute delight!

Get the recipe and all the Vidalia Onion details by clicking the link in my profile or desktop users can click here for the recipe >> https://mamaharriskitchen.com/2021/06/pan-seared-shrimp-veggie-rice-bowl-vidalia-onions/ .

Also make sure to grab some Vidalia Onions from your local grocer before they are out of season in late August/early September.☀️

This time of year I love warm, comforting recipes that are super easy and delish. This ridiculously easy Chicken Tortilla Soup is a one pot meal, ready in under 30 minutes and uses already prepared rotisserie chicken for maximum flavor (and ease)! With a tasty blend of flavors and textures, it’s like a bowl full of comfort.

(AD) There has been a lot of cooking going on this year, so I’ve tried to make life a bit easier by getting creative with my leftovers. These pulled pork totchos are a great example of leftovers with a few key ingredients to create something new to keep our meals exciting. Adding a few key ingredients like @lamorenausa adobo peppers and jalapeños and carrots definitely livens up something simple. La Morena peppers are hand selected, using only the highest quality peppers to bring you authentic home style flavors of Mexico. I purchased my La Morena items from my local Safeway, but you can find them at your favorite grocery store in the international food section. #PayItForwardwithLM #VivaLaMorena #WeCanWithLaMorena 
 
INGREDIENTS:
- 32 oz tater tots
- 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend + Pepper Jack)
- 2 cups prepared bbq pulled pork (check my pulled pork sliders recipe!)
- 1/2 can La Morena Adobo Peppers & Sauce
- 2 tablespoons sour cream 
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- 1 cup pico de Gallo
- 1/2 cup guacamole
- 3 chopped green onions 
- 3-4 La Morena jalapeños and carrots, sliced

INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare tater tots as instructed, in air fryer or oven. Heat oven to 450°. 
Cover the bottom of a large cast iron skillet with the cooked tater tots. 
Top with 1 1/2 cup of cheese. 
Combine the chopped adobo peppers and sauce with the prepared bbq pulled pork. Spread the pulled pork mixture on top of the tater tots, then top with the remaining cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
Top with sour cream, ranch, pico de Gallo, guacamole, green onions, and sliced jalapeños and carrots.

Enjoy!! 😋

Happy December, all!! 🎄Since it’s basically Christmas now, it’s time to share ALL the holiday cookies! 

Every year I join my friend @natashanicholes as she heads up her #HousefulofCookies virtual cookie swap, where many of us share some sweet treats for the holiday season. 

This year I’ve created Cranberry Pistachio Citrus Cookies to share as my contribution. 🍪 I know that a lot of things have turned “virtual” throughout this year, but a little virtual bake-off is a fun way to connect with some of your favorite people!

Hello Instagram fam! 💖 There’s some new faces around here and it’s been a while since I showed mine!

I’m Dawn, creator of Mama Harris’ Kitchen, and I’m so glad you’re here with me! In this space I share my family-friendly recipes for all occasions, whether it be a 30-minute meal for those busy weeknight dinners or a full spread for entertaining a crowd - and everything in between.

Mama Harris’ Kitchen began back in 2012, in fact it’s 8 years this month! 🥳  What started as a way to document my newfound cooking hobby while managing my “new” life as a stay-at-home wife and mom to a 1 and 3 year along with teens and preteens, and it quickly grew into what it is now - a recipe resource for busy families like mine that enjoy flavorful and comforting home-cooking using pantry staples along with fresh and local ingredients as often as possible. 

🍿Five fun facts about me:
1. I LOVE elephants! 🐘 I collect a lot of elephant items, whether it’s trinkets or  artwork, notepads etc. I love what elephants symbolize and I truly love anything elephant related.
2. I’m a total plant lady! 🌱 I have about 35 houseplants, give or take, and there’s still more on the list of wants. Plants have become such a peaceful outlet for me, and I feel that they really center me within my space. I love the element plants bring to your space and the feel of your home with them in it, and new leaves are so exciting!
3. I have seven tattoos and I have plans for about eight more. 💉 Those that know me aren’t surprised, but those that follow me here tend to find it a bit surprising. 🙃
4. I’ve been a mother for a long time, over half my life! I’ve also been a lot of different “types” of mom - teen mom, single mom, working mom, stepmom, stay at home mom, PROUD mom, military mom, mother in law - the list goes on. No matter what, motherhood looks different for everyone and there’s unique challenges and experiences each mother faces. Please be gentle with yourself! ❤️At the end of the day we’re all just trying our best!
5. I’m a bit of an introvert, and often struggle with the “social” aspect of social media. I tend to go silent sometimes, but I’m working on it.

☀️Thank you for joining me here!
