this is a personal variation of the Slice & Bake Chocolate Chip Cookies from Make a Mix Revised pg. 55
Slice & Bake Butterscotch Cookies
2 cups butter or margarine
1-1/3 cups granulated sugar
1-2/3 cups brown sugar, packed
4 eggs
1 TBSP. vanilla extract
5-1/2 all-purpose flour
2 tsp salt
2 tsp baking soda
2 cups butterscotch chips
1 cup chopped nuts, optional
Cut four 14"x12" pieces of waxed paper or plastic wrap and set aside. In a large bowl, cream the butter or margarine, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs and vanilla until light an fluffy. In a medium bowl, combine flour, salt, and baking soda. Stir flour mixture into egg mixture until blended. Add butterscotch chips and nuts.
Divide the dough int 4 pieces. Shape each piece into an 8 to 10 inch roll. Wrap each roll in 1 piece of the waxed paper or plastic wrap. Place in a plastic freezer container with a tight-fitting lid, or wrap airtight in a 14'x12" piece of heavy duty foil (or use a freezer bag like I did). Label with date and contents. Store in freezer. Use within 6 months. Makes 4 rolls of dough or about 12 dozen cookies. (each roll will make 3 dozen cookies)
To make cookies:
1 roll of frozen cookie dough above slighlty thawed
Preheat oven to 350 degrees (175 degrees C). Lightly grease 2 large baking sheets; set aside. Cut dough into 1/4" slices. Place slices about 1-1/2" apart on prepared baking sheets. Bake 10 minutes until edges are browned. Remove cookies and cool on a wire rack. Makes about 36 cookies (3 dozen)
