One of the easiest cookies to make, only 5 ingredients - walnuts are the best match with brown sugar. Such simple but yummy biscuit, with a nice crunch and yes, they taste like butterscotch. A great “biccie” with a cup of tea.
I found this recipe in an old recipe tin of Granmary's – Chelsey Davies.

Ingredients
- ¼ lb./110g butter
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- Add 1 breakfast cup* self-raising flour
- 1 tsp vanilla
- A handful of chopped walnuts
- * The term "cup", although officially defined as half a pint, is also variously interpreted (breakfast cup, coffee cup, metric cup, etc.) so it is also not always an exact measure.
- Preheat oven to 300°F/150°C.
- Whip butter and sugar and beat until pale.
- Then add flour, vanilla and nuts.
Method
Place on a cold oven tray lined with baking paper, a tsp at a time, well-spaced apart as they do spread during cooking.

Bake for 18 - 20 minutes or until light brown.
Let cool on the tray a few minutes as they will be soft straight from the oven, once firm enough to pick up let finish cooling on a wire rack.
