Hot Buttered Rum Crisps
1 cup unsalted butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup butterscotch chips, melted
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons spiced dark rum
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup old fashioned oats
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans, toasted
1/3 cup raisins
Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat; cook 2-3 minutes, whisking frequently, until butter foams, and starts to turn golden. Pour butter into a large mixing bowl.
Add brown sugar and melted butterscotch to mixing bowl; mix, using a mixer on medium speed, until well combined. Mix in eggs, rum, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda and salt until well combined - about 2 minutes. Reduce mixer speed to low and beat in flour, oats, pecans and raisins until just combined. Chill cookie dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto cookie sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart. Bake 13-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool 2 minutes on the cookie sheets before transferring cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
Makes about 2 dozen cookies
