Cookie 5- Butterscotch Slices pg. 252

These were not as well received as I would have liked, but that's ok. Every cookie can't be liked as much as the last.

Ingredients:

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt until well combined. Set aside.

In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.



Add egg and beat well. Beat in vanilla. Scrape down sides of bowl. On low speed or using a wooden spoon, gradually add flour mixture, beating just until blended.



Divide dough in half.



Shape each portion of dough into a log 2 inches (5 cm) in diameter. Tightly wrap each dough log in parchment paper or plastic wrap and chill for 2 to 3 hours or overnight.





Preheat oven to 350F (180C). Working with one dough log at a time, remove parchment paper or plastic wrap. Using a sharp knife, cut log into 1/4 inch (0.5 cm) slices. Place about 1 inch apart on cookie sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake one sheet at a time in preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until edges start to turn lightly golden.

Immediately slide parchment paper onto a wire cooling rack. Cool cookies for 5 minutes, then transfer from parchment paper to cooling rack and cool completely.

Sorry for the lack of pictures at the end. I can't seem to find the ones I had taken (if I had taken them...)

Enjoy!
