    The cookies are the 'Butterscotch Cookies' with butter, instead of shortening. I put them in the fridge for the night, sliced them 1/4 inch, and baked them at 350 degrees for about 12 minutes. I might try them again with shortening just to see what happens. I also sprinkled some with turbinado sugar just because it was sitting there(Oleson's sells it in their new bulk department so I bought some on a whim). The Maple Icing is exactly her recipe. My new favorite!
