Mom's Christmas Scotch Cookies

Updated 02.29.2004

½ Lb. Butter
½ Cup LIGHT Brown Sugar
2 Cups All Purpose Flour
1 Tablespoon Vanilla
Pinch of Salt

Mix until consistent and roll out. Cut into small shapes. Bake at 300°F about 25 minutes or until a light tan. When cookies have cooled you may optionally ice them using a combination of confectionary sugar, butter, and milk. Recipe can be doubled if desired. Note: You may substitute a little icing sugar for the light brown sugar in order to make the cookies a lighter brown color. This is a MacLean family recipie from PEI, not a cookbook recipie, so time, temperature, flour, etc. can be adjusted a bit as needed.
