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

BUTTER PECAN ICEBOX COOKIES



Butter Pecan Icebox Cookies image

My grandmother used to bake very similar cookies. As a little girl, I always loved their butterscotch flavor and was fascinated by the way Grandmother prepared these cookies (from logs that she took out of the icebox!). These are simple but delicious old-fashioned cookies. The dough logs can be stored in the freezer, then pulled out to defrost a day or two before baking time.-Lisa Varner, El Paso, Texas

CLASSIC ICEBOX BUTTER COOKIES

This classic recipe begins with our Basic Butter Cookie Dough and ends with a dusting of sugar.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Time 3h

Yield Makes about 72

Number Of Ingredients 1

Basic Butter Cookie Dough

Steps:

  • Divide dough in half; form into two 2-inch square logs, each approximately 5 1/2 inches long. Wrap logs in waxed paper; refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Slice dough crosswise, 3/16 inch thick; carefully transfer slices to baking sheets.
  • If decorating, brush with egg wash, then sprinkle with sugar or sprinkles. Bake until edges are firm (not brown), 10 to 15 minutes. Cool 1 to 2 minutes on baking sheets; cool completely on a rack.

Tips:

  • Use softened butter: This will make the dough easier to work with and will help the cookies spread evenly in the pan.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them: This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

Butterscotch ice box cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a batch of these cookies that will be enjoyed by everyone. So next time you're looking for a sweet snack, be sure to give these cookies a try.
