a lovely variation on classic chocolate chip cookies. Instead of butter, I substitute spiced rum and shortening. Family and friends frequently ask for these cookies.

Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter-flavored shortening
- ¾ cup white sugar
- ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons spiced rum
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- ½ (12 ounce) package white chocolate chips
- ½ (12 ounce) package butterscotch chips
Instructions
- Sift flour, baking soda, and salt together in a small bowl.
- Beat shortening, white sugar, brown sugar, rum, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in white chocolate and butterscotch chips. Fold in the flour mixture until just combined. Refrigerate dough until firmed up slightly, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place a baking stone in the oven.
- Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto the preheated baking stone. Bake until cookies start to turn golden, about 11 minutes. Remove from oven and let cookies rest on the stone for a few minutes. Transfer them onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Reviews
I liked these cookies, but like with all new recipes they need adjustment as needed. These came out super flat. Before baking them, I noticed the batter pretty gooey more like cake or muffin batter than a stiffer cookie dough, so I added a little less than 1/4 c. flour but it didnt seem to be enough, Ill probably add 1/2c more flour next time. They looked browned, once cooked but they are still soft which I love!
Absolutely delicious.
