    Recipe Introduction


    Two-tone cut-out cookies only look like magic. All it takes to make the switcheroo are two sizes of cutters and two color of chilled dough.


    List of Ingredients


    • 1 cup butterscotch chips
    • 1/2 cup sugar
    • 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
    • 1 cup margarine or butter, softened
    • 2 tablespoons milk
    • 1 tablespoon vanilla
    • 1 egg
    • 3 cups Pillsbury BEST All Purpose Flour
    • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa


    Instructions


    1. In small saucepan, melt butterscotch chips over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth.
    2. In large bowl, combine sugar, brown sugar, margarine and melted chips; beat until smooth. Add milk, vanilla and egg; blend well. Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. Add flour; mix well.
    3. Divide dough in half. To half of dough, stir in cocoa until well blended. Wrap each half of dough in plastic wrap; refrigerate 1 hour for easier handling.
    4. Heat oven to 375 F. On well-floured surface, roll out each half of dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut with 2 1/2-inch round cookie cutter. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Refrigerate cutouts 15 minutes. Using small leaf-shaped cookie cutter, cut out center of each round cutout; replace with center of opposite color.
    5. Bake at 375 F. for 5 to 8 minutes or until set. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets.
