Well I am far from being a baker with the exception of a cookie or three once in awhile. I had the craving for a pnut butter cookie today so I made up a small batch and froze most of the dough and left just a bit to make a few cookies for snacking. Had some in my little toaster oven and was on the phone with sister Moon. I mentioned I had to go my cookies were in the oven. "Oh", she says, "you making the butterscotch cookies I gave you". Holy shoot no I forgot about those, they are in the freezer.
Well ya know what I did immediately after getting the pnut butter ones out of the oven. Got in the freezer, found the Butterscotch cookie dough, sliced off a few, popped those sweet gems in the oven. This happens to be a very old family recipe.Go see the post Moon wrote - oh and take your kleenex, it's very sweet
Ya see when we were just visiting sister and her handsome husband recently, sister gave me a log of her prized butterscotch cookies she had in the freezer. Now that is a caring sister. Not only that she fried chicken for us WOO HOO!!! See why I'm so lucky !!!
Those look perfect! I love peanut butter cookies, wish I'd have been there, sister.

I read Moon's post. It is so wonderful to have memories which you can pass from generation to generation and especially in a cookie. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI like the keeping them in the fridge - I wouldn't have thought of doing that - and the result is really interesting
