The Best Cookie Recipe!

I thought I would share with you my favorite all time cookie recipe. My grandmother would make these and then my mom would make them every year for me for the holidays. I did not get them this year and have been having withdrawals. So if anyone wants to try and send me some, I will tell you how well they came out. hahaha.


Grandma's Butterscotch Icebox Cookies

In a bowl mix together:
1 cup Oleo (margarine)
2 cups brown sugar
Blend together  slowly adding  2 eggs
and 1 tsp vanilla

In a seperate bowl mix together:
3 1/4 cups flour
1 tsp cream of tarter
1 tsp baking soda
 Blend together well

mix dry ingredients to wet ingredients until formed into a firm dough.

roll into logs in wax paper let set in the refrigerator overnight

The next day remove from wax paper and cut into 1/4 inch slices.
 bake in a preheated oven at 350  until edges are firm and centers a just slightly soft.

You can enjoy right away but I have found they are even better if cooled and then put back in fridge in an airtight container overnight again.

 Enjoy with ice cold milk.

So try the recipe yourself and let me know what you think. Coconut is an optional ingredient, but I like em better without. Love to all.
