My Aunt Donna a few years ago passed down her recipe for Scotchroos because I needed some ideas for a bake sale. Unfortunately, I never tried her recipe and went with something else. Sadly, she passed away due to cancer and I had thought the recipe was lost. I found it posted to my Facebook and would like to keep it on this page for safe keeping while sharing it as well with others. Sharing is caring. I am sure this recipe is well known but it being the last recipe she gave me it means a lot.
