Notes
If you use self-rising flour eliminate the baking soda and salt.
You can eliminate the caramel bits if you don't want sweet.
Add in butterscotch chips instead of chocolate chips as a fun Fall option.
Create these cookies anytime you have a bag of crumbs from your potato chip consumption.
Cut the recipe in half to make less.
Increase the recipe to make more.
