Butterscotch Cookies

Butterscotch Cookies

I love having something homemade to serve when friends drop by for a cuppa – but sometimes I just get caught short. That’s when I whip up a batch of these butterscotch cookies in less time than it takes to dash out to the shop for a packet of biscuits! You could save on washing up the food processor and just rub the mixture together with your fingers if you prefer. Serve with tea, coffee, or a glass of off-sweet vermouth such as Margan’s, based on Hunter Valley semillon, which is a great balance for the sweetness of these butterscotch cookies. See video below for another quick treat to whip up when friends are dropping by.

Makes about 18 pieces

Ingredients
  • 1⅓ cups self-raising flour
  • 150g cold salted butter, diced
  • ¾ cup dark brown sugar
Method
  1. Preheat oven to 160°C.
  2. Place all Ingredients in a food processor and process for a minute or so until well combined.
  3. Tip onto a clean, dry work surface and knead into a smooth dough.
  4. Roll walnut-sized pieces of dough into balls, flatten them slightly and place on a baking paper-lined oven tray, with space between them to spread out.
  5. Press lightly with the tines of a fork.
  6. Bake for 35 minutes.
  7. Cool butterscotch cookies on a wire rack.

We made the pot-sticker dumplings and bang bang chicken – once again both exceeded our expectations. My husband keeps saying it’s better ordering this than going out to restaurants as the recipes and food quality are amazing.

The whole Be Inspired experience has helped me love cooking again. I was sick of cooking the same old things - meal time is a lot brighter thanks to you Roberta.

I loved the Fresh & Easy Chicken – simple instructions, only a few ingredients and the time factor absolutely spot on. Then came the highlight, the taste, no compromise on the enjoyment of that meal! For the time poor Fresh & Easy hits the mark indeed.

Thank you for stocking our pantry with such authentic Ingredients and quality produce ... I’ve so enjoyed picking fresh leaves from the herb pots and loved listening to the chef's playlist while cooking. We really like the flexibility of cooking over a couple of days and changing the order we cook the dishes in when we want to.

I am absolutely loving these boxes! There are Ingredients I have never worked with before so having the confidence to try something new is so much fun! The recipes are just amazing and the notes on what can be prep’d beforehand are a great help too. Thank you so much.

Loving Be Inspired! Felt like a kid opening up a Christmas present when the box arrived. Fresh herb pots are a nice touch!

Thanks so much for the Fresh & Easy Meal, it was excellent. We regularly get another meal kit delivery – your offering is vastly superior and a similar price, so big ticks.

I'm a competent cook whose learned so much from the Recipes+Videos Packs. The recipes are yummy and Roberta’s video guidance offers so many little tips to improve flavour and organise the flow of preparation. I enjoy her warmth, sense of humour, and ability to giggle at herself when she occasionally messes up.
