- .RZ "BUTTERSCOTCH ROLLED COOKIES" "Rolled cookies for the Christmas holidays"
- I almost never make these cookies except at Christmas time. They just seem
- to be Christmas cookies. (I did make a batch of heart shaped ones last
- Valentine's day for my then-fiance.) I usually make these cookies in
- Christmas shapes and frost them with green and red frosting. This is a
- good recipe for kids to help out with.
