Recipe - Butterscotch Pennies

Three fourths cup Packed light or dark brown
sugar
12 tablespoon (1 One half sticks) butter,;
softened
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
1 Three fourths cup Allpurpose flour
One half teaspoon Baking powder
One fourth teaspoon Salt

In a large bowl or mixer, beat together the brown sugar, butter, and
vanilla on medium speed until well blended. In a medium bowl, combine the
flour, baking powder, and salt. Beat the dry ingredients into the
sugarbutter mixture until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl with
a rubber spatula. Divide the dough into two equal pieces. With the palms of
your hands, roll each piece into a 10 x 3/4inch rope. Wrap the ropes in
wax paper and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.

When ready to bake the cookies, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly
grease several cookie sheets. Thinly slice the dough crosswise into
1/8inch rounds. Place the rounds 1 inch apart on the cookie sheets. Bake
until firm and very lightly browned on the edges, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Remove the cookies to a wire rack and let cool completely. Store in a
tightly covered container.

Makes about 13 dozen
