Butterscotch Icebox Cookies

Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp. soda
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 cup butter or margarine, softened
  • 2 cups brown sugar, packed
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup finely chopped pecans

Directions

Sift flour with soda and salt and set aside. In a large bowl, cream butter until light. Gradually beat in sugar. Add eggs and vanilla and continue beating until light and fluffy. Gradually blend in dry ingredients. Add pecans and mix well. Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface. Divide into 4 equal parts. Shape each into a roll about 10 inches long. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm about 8 hours. Slice dough 1/8 inch thick; place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 375 degrees F for 7-10 minutes.

I think the combination of butter and brown sugar would give the butterscotch flavor.

Where's the butterscotch? Would you add butterscotch chips with the pecans?
