Apple Scotch Cookies

Original Recipe from:  Kim Ashbrook

This recipe comes from the Tennessee branch of The Village Kitchen.  Kim always has the best baking recipes and this one is no different.  Apples, butterscotch and spices all in a cookie.  I ask, what could be better?  My mouth is watering just from reading the recipe.  This one is a “must try”.  Enjoy!
