Butterscotch Rolled Cookies

103I’ve made these cookies since I was a little girl.  They are, I think, the perfect “cut-out” cookie.  Not teeth-hurting sweet, with gobs of shortening, and not so spicy like gingerbread.  Just the perfect in-between.

Here’s what you need:

023

2 2/3 cup (or one bag) of granulated brown sugar

1 tsp salt

1 cup butter

2 eggs

1 tsp. vanilla

3 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp soda

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Make sure you buy granulated brown sugar!  It’s quite different from plain.024

Mix sugar, salt and butter in a large mixing bowl. 

Beat eggs and vanilla into mixture until light and fluffy.

Sift together flour, baking powder, soda and cinnamon, and gradually blend into sugar ingredients.

Chill well.  (About an hour at least.)

Roll dough out on well floured surface.  Cut into shapes.

Bake on lightly sprayed cookie sheets at 350 for 8-10 minutes.

Yield: 4-8 dozen depending on shapes.

Here’s the glaze I like to use:

084

Blend until smooth:

3 cups confectioners sugar

2 slightly beaten egg whites

2 TBS melted butter

1/4 tsp. vanilla extract

Add a little water if you want it thinner (my favorite), or add more sugar for thicker glaze.

089

    Hi Sarah, thank you for sharing yet again a lovely recipe! I have a question though; I live in the Middle East and we don't get granulated brown sugar? We get Demerara Brown Sugar, would that work? Can you tell me why it is better? Hmmm…..Thanks!

    That first pic of the cookies with the little *o* look on his face in the background is priceless. Totally captures the magic of Christmas and cookies at the same time!

    I just popped over from your article on Blissfully Domestic Parenting (where I am also a contributor!) I soooooo appreciate your article and your values. I love your site and will be subscribing today.

    Also, I'm marking this cookie recipe. I will be making them with my kiddos next week.

    Blessings,
    Sandy

    This is a true "Ohio" cookie if I ever saw one! My grandmother and step-grandmother always made these. We make them with white sugar now but decorating with RedHots has always been a favorite!

    I wish I could just come live at your house for a month… you're doing all the things I want to, but can't bring myself to. In fact, my procrastination means that I have to bake about 200 homemade oreo cookies tonight. It's not fun when you're under pressure like that!

    Awesome! I love kid-friendly cookie recipes, especially the not too sweet type! That picture of your youngest licking the spoon makes me smile – so cute. 🙂

    Can't find granulated brown sugar anywhere! Boo hoo. I want to make these so bad! Wonder if regular brown sugar would kill them?
