Mind you, I am a completely awful cook (I messed up cole slaw, for god's sake!), so I'm not entirely qualified to make these statements...

In any case, the order of indgredients are the same, the ingredients are the same (except that there's 1/12 of a cup fewer butterscotch chips - presumably Cindy stole them from the intended recipients of the cookies), and while the directions look different, they're actually saying the exact same thing - they're only very oddly rewritten, I think in an attempt to hide the source.
