This recipe is from Gail Hansen. It looks old, so I don't think it was part of the collection given to Mom when they moved. I like seeing what people consider a recipe worth sharing.
This is a good way to use the other half of a bag of butterscotch chips after you make Scotcharoos.
Buttery Butterscotch Cut-outs
1 c butterscotch
1 c butter or marg.
3 c all-purpose flour
1/2 c br. sugar
1/2 sugar
1 egg
2 T milk
2 t vanilla
Melt butterscotch chips and pour into a large bowl; stir in remaining ingredients. Belnd well and place in refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Roll out cookie dough on a floured surface. Cut out with cookie cutters. Bake for 5-8 minutes.
They were okay. I definitely wouldn't go out of my way to make them. I'm not sure why, but even when the edges were cut smoothly, they spread weirdly.
Ben would most definitely like these because he is a big fan of butterscotch. I am not so much a fan.
ReplyDeleteDid you know that cookies usually cook above 350 degrees because it is around 365 degrees that caramelization occurs? I learned that this summer in Ben's summer science class.
