Butterscotch Thins
2-2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 package NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Butterscotch Flavored Morsels
1 cup butter or margarine, cut into pieces
1-1/3 cups packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1-1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
2/3 cup finely chopped nuts
Preheat oven to 375° F.
Combine flour and baking soda in medium bowl.
Microwave morsels and butter in large, microwave-safe mixer bowl on medium-high (70%) power for 1 minute; stir. Microwave at additional 10- to 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Beat in sugar, eggs and vanilla extract. Gradually beat in flour mixture; stir in nuts. Cover; refrigerate for about 1 hour or until firm. Shape into two 14 x 1-1/2-inch logs; wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 2 hours or until firm.
Unwrap logs; slice into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Place slices on ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 5 to 6 minutes or until edges are set. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.
