  1. I won't give a rating since I only used this recipe for the icing. This tasted really amazing. However, not sure if I did something wrong or if more/different instruction is needed. All was going well until I started adding water. Then the butter started separating and it wouldn't combine properly again until partly solidified in the fridge. Maybe milk would have been better, with its fat base? Or maybe the water needs to be added slowly in droplets?
     
  2. hubby helped with the cookies---the 10 yr old and 8yr old baked. i made the frosting..... very good! this is from a non sweet eater-----but i love the not so sweet flavor of butterscotch! just a bit savory for me! we all liked it!
