WHITE CHOCOLATE BUTTERSCOTCH RUM COOKIES

White Chocolate Butterscotch Rum Cookies image

A nice twist on traditional chocolate chip cookies. I use butter-flavored shortening and spiced rum instead of butter. These cookies are requested all the time by family and friends.

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter-flavored shortening
¾ cup white sugar
¾ cup packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons spiced rum
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
½ (12 ounce) package white chocolate chips
½ (12 ounce) package butterscotch chips

Steps:

Sift flour, baking soda, and salt together in a small bowl.
Beat shortening, white sugar, brown sugar, rum, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in white chocolate and butterscotch chips. Fold in the flour mixture until just combined. Refrigerate dough until firmed up slightly, about 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place a baking stone in the oven.
Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto the preheated baking stone. Bake until cookies start to turn golden, about 11 minutes. Remove from oven and let cookies rest on the stone for a few minutes. Transfer them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
