BUTTERSCOTCH ICEBOX COOKIES

This cookie dough can be kept in the freezer for up to at least two months, so whenever you want warm, freshly baked cookies (with none of the additives found in commercially prepared frozen cookie dough), just slice it and pop it in the oven.

Yield yields about 6 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup butter, at room temperature
2 cups packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups unbleached white flour

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer until fluffy. Beat in the eggs, vanilla, and salt. Mix in the flour until well blended.
  • Divide the dough into 3 parts. Shape each third into a log about 1 1/2 inches in diameter and 8 inches long. Wrap the logs with waxed paper or plastic wrap and place in the freezer until firm, at least 1 hour. (If the dough will be stored for more than a day, place the wrapped logs in a sealed freezer bag, label, and date.)
  • When you're ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375°. With a sharp knife, slice the logs into rounds about 1/4 inch thick. Place 1 inch apart on an unoiled baking sheet. Bake for 8 to 12 minutes, until the cookies retain a slight indentation when lightly touched in the center and are golden brown on the bottom. Remove the cookies from the baking sheet while they're still warm.
  • For crisper cookies, add 3/4 teaspoon of baking soda with the flour. For puffier cookies, add 1 tablespoon of baking powder with the flour.
  • For delicious sandwich cookies, spread peanut butter or Nutella between the bottoms of two cooled cookies.

OLD FARMER'S ALMANAC BUTTERSCOTCH ICEBOX COOKIES



Old Farmer's Almanac Butterscotch Icebox Cookies image

These are too good not to have on the Christmas trays. Easy peasy too. Found on the Old Farmer's Almanac site. Delicious & great to have in the fridge to slice & bake with a cuppa something warm. The original posting states "You can double this recipe, make two cookie logs, and keep one in the freezer for slice-and-bake cookies on demand." I recommend hiding the second log... deep in the freezer. Note - may need up to 1 3/4 cups of all-purpose flour
