Okay Tiggerdad, here's the recipe for Butterscotch cookies:
It's a double batch and makes a lot of cookies, so you might want to cut in half.

Mix 4 cups brown sugar with 1 cup butter (I use butter Crisco). Add 4 eggs to this and mix.
Stir in to mix: 1 tablespoon baking soda, 1 tablespoon cream of tartar, 1 teaspoon nutmeg, 1 teaspoon salt.
Add 6 cups of flour GRADUALLY to above mix until able to mold it into loaves. Makes 2 loaves. Refrigerate overnight.
Slice into appx 1/2 inch slices and put at least 2 inches apart on baking sheet. They spread a lot!
Bake at 350 degrees for 13-15 minutes or til light brown. Enjoy! They are an old fashioned cookie with an old fashioned recipe. I modified it a little.

Okay, as promised I took @disneyseniors recipe and gave it a go. I put it together yesterday.

I had an elderly assistant on hand as well

So I mix it all up, halfing the mix since there's only the 4 of us. I made this into a loaf (not very easy as this stuff was sticky!). Anyway, this morning I awoke and my loaf had turned into...

Bit flattened out...
Cut it up, well roughly anyway, and laid em out.

For some reason the Dis is only letting me put 4 pictures per post...:headache:. Been trying to finish this post for 15 minutes.

Now can't upload pictures. :badpc:
 
After 20 minutes we got some good looking cookies that had spread out nicely. IMAG0830.jpg
They have more of a gingerbread taste than I had imagined, but we're quite good (especially with egg nog). The elderly assistant agrees.

This turned out quite well.

Anybody else got a recipe? Boy, I sure am glad we brought up this cookie thread. :worship:

Thanks, tiggerdad. I'm glad they turned out for you:) It is sticky dough and the loaf always looks kinda flat. They are kinda hard after a while, but that's the way my Dad liked them. I only wish he was here to enjoy them! Glad that you liked them. I made oatmeal cookies today, YUM. Let's start a dedicated thread to cookie recipes?

It has been a long week at the death/funeral of a wonderful sister in law, however; a great neighbor brought these cookies to the funeral luncheon on Friday. Here is the delicious recipe.

Andes Mint Chocolate Cookies

1 1/4 sticks butter
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
2 T water
2 cups chocolate chips
2 eggs
2 1/2 C Flour
1 1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

Melt butter, sugar & water in microwave until butter is melted. Stir in chocolate chips until melted. Let cool 10 minutes.
Add eggs, one at a time. Stir in flour, Soda and salt. Chill for at least 2 hours.
Shape into balls ( 1 inch or so). Bake at 350 for ten (10) minutes. Place 1 Andes mint in center of each cookie, pressing down. Once melted, spread with knife and place on cooling rack.

We doubled the batch and the double recipe made about 7 dozen cookies.
