How to Make Butterscotch Dollars
- In a large bowl, melt together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1/2 cup vegetable shortening. Add 1 cup packed light brown sugar and 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Mix until well combined.
- Add 2 large eggs to the melted butter and sugar mixture. Beat with an electric mixer until the batter is light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional).
- Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them at least 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 7-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
