Hiya! :) My Mom was the designated cookie baker in grade school due to this recipe. What makes it so perfect is that you can use cookie cutters with it. If u really wanna go all out then add sprinkles. I make these every christmas & the plate is gone within 15min...then every 1 asks 4 the recipe. :)
*Butterscotch Shortbread *
2 1/4 cups flour (sifted)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup light brown sugar (packed)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup butter (must be unsalted)
1/2 cup Crisco (i prefer Butter flavor but either works)
Cream sugar's & shortening until thoroughly blended *tip-use large bowl b/c u will be adding everything to this base
Sift flour & salt together
Slowly add flour mixture to creamed mixture
*tip-2 or 3 Tbs @ a time When all flour has been added
work dough into a ball & place on floured waxpaper & roll out to 1/4 inch then cut as desired & decorate with sprinkles. Place cookies on ungreased cookie sheet & bake @ 300F for 20-25 min or until they are nice & golden brown on the edges. Also, you can start to smell the sugar in the air as they are approaching doneness. Allow them 2 cool on sheet (2-3 min) then transfer to drying racks
Yields 7.5 dz Enjoy your yummy treat! :)

Or these, which in our house are gone the first day:
1 c. light Karo syrup
1 c. white sugar
1 c. peanut butter
2 c. Corn Flakes
2 c. Rice Krispies (or 5 cups corn flakes only)
Bring sugar and corn syrup mixture to a boil. Add peanut butter. Stir until peanut butter is thoroughly mixed. Add Corn Flakes and Rice Krispies. Tablespoon out onto waxed paper. Or pour into 9 x 12 inch cake pan. Let cool, then cut into squares
3 ingredient peanut butter cookies:
1 cup peanut butter (not lo-fat);
1 cup granulated sugar;
1 large egg.
(Mix this together and spoon onto greased cookie sheet. Bake for about 8 to 10 minutes at around 350)--just watch the cookies; don't let 'em burn. Take them out when they still look sort of 'soft' and you'll have soft batch cookies when the cool or cook a little longer and have crunchy cookies.
(Potato chip cookies are also good, but I've lost my recipe.)
strawberry shortcake or white chocolate with macadamian nuts.

DIRECTIONS
1. Beat together margarine and sugars until light and fluffy. Blend in egg and vanilla. Add combined flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking soda and salt. Mix well. Stir in chocolate chips , M & M's, and nuts.

My fav is sugar. When I was a little girl my mom and I use to make then and then put the colored sugar on top before we baked them. I loved it then and I still do it now when I bake them. We also made roll out cookies and cut them in shapes then iced them with different color icings.
