Butterscotch Rolled Cookies

==Description==
*Notes: rolled cookies for the christmas holidays; i almost never make these cookies except at christmas time. They just seem to be Christmas cookies.
*I did make a batch of heart shaped ones last valentine's day for my then-fiance
*I usually make these cookies in christmas shapes and frost them with green and red frosting.
*This is a good recipe for kids to help out with.
*It helps to keep most of the dough in the refrigerator while you are cutting shapes.
*It cuts much better when it is cold.
*These are time-consuming and fairly difficult, but worth it.
*Difficulty: moderate.
*Time: 30 minutes preparation, overnight chill, 1 hour cutting and baking.
*Precision: measure the ingredients.
