The simple, nostalgic charm of 1938 butterscotch icebox cookies
In short: Step back into the Depression era to discover how a few pantry staples create a rich, flavorful treat. This video demonstrates the technique for making authentic 1938 butterscotch cookies.
Often referred to as an icebox cookie, this recipe is a close relative of the simple brown sugar cookie. The deep flavor profile relies primarily on the combination of vanilla and brown sugar.
The process involves rolling the dough into a 2-inch diameter log, wrapping it tightly in cling film, and slicing rounds approximately 1/2 inch thick. After baking for 10 to 11 minutes, you are left with a classic Depression-era sweet.
