HOT BUTTERSCOTCH



Hot Butterscotch image

Hot chocolate may reign supreme, but this ambrosial bittersweet drink from chef Michelle Polzine gives it a run for its money.

Provided by Michelle Polzine

Categories     Drink     Dessert     Hot Drink     Cocktail     Non-Alcoholic     Butter     Rum     Milk/Cream     Butterscotch/Caramel     Winter     Christmas     Vegetarian     Soy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free

Yield Serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 Tbsp. (70 grams) unsalted butter
¼ cup (45 grams) packed light Muscovado sugar
¼ cup (49 grams) packed dark brown sugar
2 Tbsp. (30 milliliters) water
3 Tbsp. (45 milliliters) heavy cream
4 cups (950 milliliters) whole milk
2 Tbsp. (30 milliliters) good-­quality dark rum (optional)
½ tsp. kosher salt

Steps:

  • Put the butter in a medium saucepan and add both sugars. Cook over medium heat until the butter is melted, whisking to combine, then cook, stirring constantly with a heatproof spatula or a wooden spoon, until the butterscotch begins to smoke, 5 to 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-­low and continue cooking and stirring until the butterscotch is very dark and registers 300°F (150°C)-or very slightly above-on an instant-­read thermometer, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and very carefully whisk in the water to stop the cooking. Whisk in the cream, then whisk in the milk, rum, if using, and salt. Gently reheat over low heat, stirring (the acid in the sugars will cause the mixture to break if overheated). Drink right away, or pour into a Thermos for sipping later.
  • Do Ahead: The butterscotch drink can be made ahead, cooled, transferred to a lidded container, and refrigerated for up to 5 days. Reheat as instructed in step 2 above.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor. Look for a chocolate with a cocoa butter content of at least 30%.
  • Don't overmix the cookie dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the cookies for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

These white chocolate butterscotch rum cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for any occasion, from holiday parties to casual gatherings. With their sweet and boozy flavor, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special cookie recipe, give these white chocolate butterscotch rum cookies a try. You won't be disappointed.
