Butterscotchies Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the sugar, corn syrup, butter, and 3/4 cup of the cream in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring, over medium heat. Turn the heat to medium-low. Place a candy thermometer in the pan. Boil the sugar, without stirring, until the mixture reaches 234 degrees F., (the soft ball stage).
• Remove pan from the heat, and carefully add the remaining cream and vanilla. Cool slightly. Serve the sauce warm.
• To store the butterscotch sauce, pour it into a heatproof jar. Cover with the lid and refrigerate for up to 2 week. To serve, loosen the cover on the jar and set jar in small pot of simmering water until heated through. Serve.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, cream butter, shortening and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in toffee bits and pecans. Shape into a 10-in. roll; wrap in plastic. Refrigerate 4 hours or until firm., Preheat oven to 375°. Unwrap dough and cut into 1/2-in. slices. Place 2 in. apart on baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Bake 9-11 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool 1-2 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. Freeze option: Place wrapped logs in resealable plastic freezer bag; freeze. To use, unwrap frozen logs and cut into slices. If necessary, let dough stand a few minutes at room temperature before cutting. Bake as directed.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees, rack in the middle position.
• Melt the butter in a large microwave-safe bowl for about 90 seconds on high.
• Add the sugars and let it cool for a bit.
• Then add beaten eggs, baking powder, baking soda, salt and vanilla extract.
• Mix in the flour and then the butterscotch chips.
• Add the rolled oats and mix in thoroughly.
• Let the dough rest, uncovered for 10 minutes, allowing the butter to solidify.
• You can either drop by rounded tablespoons, or roll in to a ball with your hands, pushing them down a bit to prevent rolling, onto a greased cookie sheet, 12 to a sheet.
• Bake at 350 for 12 to 15 minutes.
• Cool on the cookie sheet for 2 minutes, then remove them to a wire rack to cool completely.
• These freeze well if you roll them in foil and put them in a freezer bag.

Steps:

• Generously butter a 10x15 inch baking pan (with sides).
• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine brown sugar, butter, white sugar, water, vinegar and salt. Cover and bring to a boil. Remove lid and heat, without stirring, to 270 to 290 degrees F (132 to 143 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms hard but pliable threads. Pour in vanilla, but do not stir. Remove from heat and pour into prepared pan. Let cool slightly before cutting into squares and allowing candy to cool completely.
