Is Butterscotch the Same as Caramel?

Butterscotch and Caramel are delicious together and by themselves. Even though they are so good and great for many desserts,  they are different. Vanilla and sugar are two of the main ingredients in butterscotch and the difference with caramel is that it is made with white sugar instead of brown sugar.

How to Make Cookies Softer?

There are a few different ways to make cookies softer in texture. You can switch out a few ingredients if you want them chewier. Using brown sugar instead of white will help with moisture and therefore, make the cookies soft. Also, using shortening instead of regular butter will do you wonders as well. Another option is making sure to use baking powder instead of baking soda because of the different reactions.
