Ingredients

FOR THE COOKIE:
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • ¼ teaspoons kosher salt
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 12 ounce package Butterscotch morsels
  • 1 cup Chopped Pecans
FOR THE GLAZE:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Rum Flavoring
  • 3 Tablespoons heavy whipping cream
  • ¼ cup Chopped Pecans

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Beat butter, powdered sugar and salt until combined. Add flour and cornstarch. Fold in butterscotch and chopped pecans.
  2. Roll dough into a 1 inch ball (about 1 Tbsp of dough). Place into a greased mini muffin pan.
  3. Bake in a 325 degree oven for 15 minutes.  Remove and lightly press each top with a tart shaper (a water bottle cap would work too!). Just enough to give a small indent. Allow to cool in pans about 15 minutes. Remove and cool completely on wire rack.
  4. For the glaze, whisk the sugar with rum flavoring and cream until smooth. Drizzle a small amount into the indent onto each cookie cup. Immediately sprinkle with chopped pecans.
  5. Allow to set (about 15 minutes). Store in an airtight container for up to one week.

Notes

  • The dough will be a bit crumbly, like shortbread. Roll the dough into balls with your hands and it will begin to hold together.
  • Make a slight indent in the tops of the cookies right after baking, while they're still soft and warm. You can use a tart shaper or even a bottle cap for this step.
  • Drizzle a small amount of rum glaze into the indent of the cooled cookie cups.
  • Sprinkle the glaze with more chopped pecans before the icing sets.
