Butterscotch Cookies

Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Author: Anna Wade Haglind

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℉.
