    Butterscotch Flavored Morsels, divided
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder

MICROWAVE 1 cup morsels in small, uncovered, microwave-safe bowl on MEDIUM-HIGH (70%) power for 1 minute; STIR. The morsels may retain some of their original shape. If necessary, microwave at additional 10- to 15-second intervals, stirring just until melted. Cool to room temperature.
