No Bake Butterscotch Pecan Cookies

Yield: 30 cookies

The most popular version of this recipe calls for crushed cornflakes, but I've always liked the combination of oats and butterscotch, so I use toasted oats cereal (such as Cheerios).

Ingredients

  • 1 large (11-ounce) bag butterscotch morsels (chips)

  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/3 cups finely crushed unsweetened toasted oat cereal, or as needed
  • 1 cup ground pecans, preferably toasted

  • Milk or water, if needed

    Place the butterscotch morsels and the butter in a medium-size microwave-proof bowl and microwave on medium-high (70%) power for about 1 minute, or until mostly melted. Stir until melted and smooth.
  • Stir in the remaining ingredients, mixing well. The mixture should be moist and a bit crumbly, and stick together easily when you gather it between your fingers. If it is too dry, add a teaspoon or two of milk or water. If it is too wet and sticky, add a bit more crushed cereal.
  • Roll into 1-inch balls. Place on a buttered or waxed paper-lined plate and refrigerate for at 30 minutes, or until firm.
