Outstanding! We love these. The only change I make is light brown sugar instead of dark and bake at 375 degrees. Read More

5 17 18... https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/10179/butterscotch-icebox-cookies/... 'Went with reviews & reduced temp to 375. At ten minutes slight crispness outside; tender inside. At twelve crispy but not too much. They're kind of ordinary but good. 'Bet these would be awesome with coffee or tea. Read More

Really nice flavor. I baked them and then froze them and the flavor seemed to get stronger after they were thawed. Made these for our local Fair and I won first prize! Great recipe. Read More

Very good Butterscotch cookies! Just what I was looking for. I did follow others advice and turn the temp down to 375 and the cooking time down to 10 mins and they turned out perfect! Read More

Excellent. Doubled the recipe and froze the rolls overnight. We had a cookie baking party and these sliced great. Cook until only light brown and they keep better without getting quite so crunchy. Read More

This is one of my all time favorite cookies. I used to make them years ago and lost the recipe. After much searching trying and disappointment I finally found it! I use half light and half dark brown sugar. Nothing like having these in the freezer to bake up anytime in a jiffy!! Read More
