Butterscotch Icebox Cookies
These buttery and delicious Butterscotch Icebox Cookies are one of my all-time favorite cookies. They’re quick and easy to prepare and always a hit.
Even better? Double the recipe, make two cookie logs, and keep one in the freezer for slice-and-bake cookies on demand!

Butterscotch cookies without butterscotch? I’m puzzled. I’d probably add butterscotch chips to mine.
