On The Second Day of Christmas Cookies-Toffee Butterscotch Cookies

Come with me for the 12 Days of Christmas Cookies as I try out low point cookie recipes.

When I saw these cookies on the Weight Watchers Website, I knew I had to try them. I love toffee and butterscotch so I thought I would really like these. They are very good. They are a light chewy cookie and very good.

Toffee Butterscotch Cookies
1/2 cup(s) reduced-calorie margarine
3/4 cup(s) unpacked brown sugar
1/4 cup(s) regular egg substitute
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/4 cup(s) all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp table salt
1 1/3 oz Hershey's Milk Chocolate English Toffee Bar(s) (I used Weight Watchers Toffee Squares candy to make this even lower in points)
Heat oven to 375°F. Cream margarine and sugar until soft. Add egg substitute and vanilla to sugar mixture. Whisk flour and salt together; add to sugar mixture. Stir in candy and mix well. On parchment-lined baking sheets, place 1 tablespoon dough 1 1/2 inches apart for each cookie. Bake until golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool on baking sheet 5 minutes. Place on rack; cool completely.
