Just got around to trying this recipe today. I LOATHE the overpoweringly artificial taste of butterscotch chips, so I went with one cup of toffee bits and and extra 1/3 cup of pecans. I also used Princess Cake flavoring (which is mildly nutty), and because I only had iodized table salt, I used plain (canning salt) in the rolling mixture. I baked off six cookies right away--because I couldn't wait--and the rest of the dough is chilling as I type. The cookies are DELICIOUS! However, even though I used only a teaspoon of salt (in 1/3 cup sugar) to roll them in, they were a little too salty for my tastes (and I LOVE salty-sweet things). Plain salt is so fine-grained, I suspect you need less of it. I would cut it back to 3/4 teaspoon next time. Great recipe! THANKS!
