Submitted by Bluznurse

This is a great recipe for rolling and cutting. Very rich, shortbread like cookie with the flavor of butterscotch from the brown sugar. Makes lots of cookies, (3-4 dozen)

3 sticks butter
3/4 cup fine sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
3 egg yolks
2 1/2 T. milk
3 tsps. vanilla
4 cups flour
2 tsps cream of tarter
2 tsps baking soda
3/4 tsps. salt

Cream together butter and sugars. Add vanilla, egg yolks, milk. Mix
well. Sift together dry ingredients and mix with butter/egg/sugar
mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and store in fridge one hour before
rolling and cutting cookies. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes. Great for
decorating with your favorite Christmas icing and decorations.
