Butterscotch Roll Cookies

The dough will need to be chilled before cutting and baking – make sure to plan accordingly.

(This recipe is from Lehman’s Sapphire Cookbook Collection.)

  • Yield: 8 dozen 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 C. brown sugar
  • 3 C. white sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 lb. shortening
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 12 C. flour
  • 4 tsp. baking powder
  • 3 tsp. soda dissolved in 1 C. warm water
  • 1 T. vanilla

Instructions

  1. Cream shortening, sugar, eggs, salt in large bowl.
  2. Add dry ingredients – alternating with water. Beat until stiff enough to work into flour.
  3. Roll by hand into logs. Wrap rolls in waxed paper or foil. Chill.
  4. Slice into 1/4″ slices. Bake at 400°F about 10 minutes.

Notes

Want a stronger butterscotch flavor? Add some butterscotch chips into the dough.  We suggest using them sparingly, so it’s easy to roll and cut the dough.

Are there butterscotch chips in these cookies? The picture looks like there are, but I don’t see them listed in the ingredients.

I think that there are butterscotch chips in the recipe. Why else would it be called Butterscotch cookies. Someone just forgot to list them

The true Butterscotch flavor comes from brown sugar and butter not chips or morsels.

No butter in the recipe either!! So where does the butterscotch flavor come from? Beats me, but the picture sure shows what appears to be Butterscotch chips in them!
