After sampling these tender cookies in a specialty store, I knew I had to duplicate them. My version has lots of toffee bits and butterscotch chips. I give away dozens as home-baked gifts. -Sandra McKenzie, Braham, MN

Very easy to make and they taste fabulous. I have tried it with all flavors of chips - - chocolate, butterscotch, white chocolate. If you use normal size chips, it will make slightly less than the 3 dozen.

Time 45m

Yield 48 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4-1/2 cup cup margarine or 1/4-1/2 cup cup butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening (at room temp.)
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
  • In a large bowl, mis margarine, shortening, and sugars with mixer until blended and creamy.
  • Stir in flour and salt.
  • (You can adjust the amount of flour- add most and then add little by little until point where the dough is not TOO crumbly or dry. If not, just add all at once. Use your hands to mix completely.) Roll dough out on lightly floured surface, about 1/8- 1/4 inch thickness, depending on how thin and crispy you want the cookies.
  • Cut with cookies cutters and place about 1 inch apart on ungreased cookies sheet (You can also roll dough into a 15 by 7 1/2 inch rectangle and cut into 1 1/2 inch squares).
  • Bake about 25 minutes or until set.
  • Cookies will not expand or brown much, so make sure you watch them so they don't get too browned- they will taste slightly burnt.
  • Remove cookies from sheet and let cool.
  • Store once cooled.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality butter for the best flavor and texture. Make sure it's unsalted so you can control the amount of salt in the cookies.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help the cookies spread less in the oven and give them a more tender texture.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies in a preheated oven. This will help them bake evenly and prevent them from browning too quickly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before storing them. This will help them set and prevent them from becoming too soft.

Conclusion:

Butterscotch shortbread cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their buttery flavor and crumbly texture, they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a simple but satisfying cookie recipe, give these butterscotch shortbread cookies a try.
