20 minThese are the kind of cookies your grandma kept in the cookie jar, and for good reason.
The dough is a straightforward mix of brown sugar, shortening, eggs, flour, and chopped nuts that gets shaped into a log and chilled.
When you’re ready to bake, just slice off rounds and pop them in the oven for 10 minutes.
The brown sugar gives them that warm butterscotch flavor while the nuts add a satisfying snap in every bite.
Kitchen Tips
- Chill the dough log for at least an hour so it slices cleanly without squishing
- Wrap the log in plastic wrap and roll it on the counter to get a nice round shape
- The dough freezes well for up to a month, so you can slice and bake fresh cookies whenever the craving hits
- Pecans or walnuts both work great here; go with your preference
