Categories     dessert

Time 1h

Yield About 25 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

Nonstick cooking spray
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, softened
3/4 cup butterscotch chips
3/4 cup lightly packed light brown sugar
1 extra-large egg
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup bourbon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and spray a 9-inch square baking pan with cooking spray or butter it generously. For ease, I recommend lining the pan with parchment paper and spraying that, too.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder and salt.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and 1/4 cup of the butterscotch chips until the mixture is smooth. Transfer it to the bowl of a stand mixer.
  • Beat the brown sugar into the butter mixture, then the egg. Add the vanilla and bourbon and beat until combined. Add the flour mixture and beat until incorporated. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup butterscotch chips.
  • Spread the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with not too much stuck to it. Let cool before cutting. Find this recipes and more in Duff Bakes: Think and Bake Like a Pro at Home ($27.50, William Morrow).

BUTTERSCOTCH BOURBON BUTTERCREAM FROSTING



Butterscotch Bourbon Buttercream Frosting image

A couple of weeks ago a friend brought this recipe over with a batch of cupcakes she made. This is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good on chocolate cupcakes as well as vanilla ones. It is VERY rich so make sure you have a glass of milk handy before diving into this. It is a little complicated but well worth it.

Provided by Sherrybeth

Categories     Dessert

Time 50m

Yield 1 batch

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 large eggs
1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar, firmly packed
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 lbs unsalted butter, cold
2 tablespoons Bourbon

Steps:

  • Combine the eggs and brown sugar in the metal bowl of a standing mixer. (Alternatively, use a metal mixing bowl and a handheld electric mixer, but be prepared for a workout.)
  • Fill a large sauté pan or frying pan with water and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
  • Place the mixing bowl in the simmering water and whisk the eggs and sugar constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is thick and fluffy and very hot, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Use a candy thermometer to check the temperature; it should be anywhere between 120°F and 140°F (49°C to 60°C).
  • Remove the bowl from the simmering water and, using the whisk attachment, beat the eggs at medium-high speed until they are tripled in volume and form soft peaks and the bottom of the bowl is completely cool to the touch, about 10 minutes.
  • Beat in the vanilla and salt.
  • While the eggs are mixing, unwrap the individual sticks of butter and rewrap them loosely in plastic wrap.
  • Pound the butter 5 or 6 times with a rolling pin (this is my favorite part!), or until the butter is soft and malleable but still cool.
  • With the mixer speed still on medium-high, add the butter, approximately 2 tablespoons at a time, to the egg mixture, beating in each addition until it is incorporated.
  • When all the butter has been incorporated, slowly dribble in the bourbon. Don't start to panic if the buttercream seems too liquid or looks curdled as you beat in the butter. It will magically emulsify into a smooth, creamy frosting by the time the last little bit of butter is mixed inches.
  • Have faith; it's worth it.
