Butterscotch Cookies
Ingredients
- ½ cup shortening
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon soda
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 3 cups pastry flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Cream the shortening with the sugar.
- Add the beaten eggs and vanilla.
- Sift the flour with the soda, cream of tartar and salt. Add to the first mixture. (Mix is so stiff, I always have to mould in the flour at the last).
- Form into rolls about two inches in diameter and wrap in waxed paper. Place in the refrigerator until wanted.
- Slice and bake on a greased baking sheet for ten minutes at 375℉.
