Creamy and delicious, butterscotch is an old-fashioned favorite. This recipe for butterscotch drops produces a hard candy with a classic taste.

Provided by Elizabeth LaBau

Categories     Snack     Candy

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups sugar
2/3 cup cream
2/3 cup water
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
6 tablespoons butter (cut into small pieces)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Prepare 2 large baking sheets by lining them with aluminum foil and spraying the foil with cooking spray.
  • Combine the sugar, cream, and water in a large saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves. Add the cream of tartar and boil the mixture until it reaches 240 F ( soft-ball stage ). Add the butter and continue boiling until the mixture reaches 280 F ( soft-crack stage ).
  • Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Using a very small teaspoon, carefully drop spoonfuls of the hot candy onto the prepared baking sheets. It is important to work quickly before the candy begins to set. The drops will spread, so leave a bit of space in between your spoonfuls. Continue forming small butterscotch drops on the prepared sheets until you run out of candy or it becomes too hard to work with.
  • Allow the drops to set at room temperature, then lift them off the baking sheet. Serve immediately, or place them in an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Yield Makes about 14

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups all purpose flour
1/3 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter, diced
1 cup butterscotch chips (about 6 ounces)
1/2 cup (or more) chilled whipping cream
1 large egg

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Sift all purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt into medium bowl. Add chilled butter; using fingertips, rub in until coarse meal forms. Mix in chips. Whisk 1/2 cup cream and egg in small bowl to blend. Gradually add cream mixture to dry ingredients, tossing with fork until dough comes together in moist clumps. Add more cream by teaspoonfuls if dough is dry. Drop dough by 1/4 cupfuls onto large rimmed baking sheet, spacing apart. Bake scones until golden brown and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't miss anything important.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your cookies. Whenever possible, use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best results.
  • Cream the Butter and Sugar Thoroughly: This step is essential for creating a light and fluffy cookie. Cream the butter and sugar together until they are pale and fluffy, and the sugar has dissolved.
  • Don't Overmix the Dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined, then stop.
  • Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the Cookies at the Right Temperature: The temperature of your oven will also affect the texture of your cookies. Bake the cookies at the temperature specified in the recipe, and avoid opening the oven door while they are baking.
  • Let the Cookies Cool Completely: Once the cookies are baked, let them cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This will help them to set and firm up.

Conclusion:

The butterscotch walnut drops are a delicious and easy-to-make cookie that is perfect for any occasion. With their chewy texture and sweet, nutty flavor, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give this recipe a try!
