Brown Sugar Cookie Recipe"with golden glow rum butter frosting!"
This brown sugar cookie recipe is all about the golden glow rum
butter frosting. It
will make you slap your momma! This is one of those Italian cookie recipes you wouldn't necessarily think "Italian" - but the rum butter frosing kinda seals it as Italian (to me) because of the liquor.
Many Italian dessert recipes use liquor. And often! You can make this brown sugar cookie recipe without the frosting. But I think the frosting tops it off. There are several substitutions for the frosting ingredients. For instance if you are out of rum - see below. This is gossip-talk-good-frosting. It gives your kids give your kids bragging rights as at school. I used to feel so much like a rebel when I could tell my friends in third grade, "I ate rum last night on my cookies." But I never impressed them. My friends were Italian too. *Sigh* Thanks for stopping by - Lisa Italian Dessert Recipes Website Owner and Developer Brown Sugar Cookie RecipeDon't forget the frosting! YIELD - Makes 3 dozen brown sugar cookies Ingredients: 1 cup packed brown sugar 1/2 cup butter shortening (yes, you read right - "shortening") 1/4 cup buttermilk or water (yes, I have used water and it turns out ok) 1 large egg 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 tsp baking soda Golden Glow Rum Butter Frosting (see below) Procedure Mix brown sugar, shortening, and buttermilk, and egg. Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt. Cover dough and stick it in the 'fridge for a bit. Heat oven to 400. (Yep, that is 400) Drop dough by rounded teaspoonsful about 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake until almost no indentation when you touch it. About 8-10 minutes. Immediately remove. Let cool. Then frost. Golden Glow Rum Butter Frosting 1/2 cup of butter 3 cups powdered sugar enough rum to make spreadable (about 1/3 cup) Procedure Place the butter in small pan over low heat. Wait until butter bubbles and begins to brown. Stir while browning to keep from scorching. Once golden remove from heat Add powdered sugar and mix. Add rum. Lick fingers and frost cookies. And have a rum and coke. Can I substitute butter in place of the shortening?First off let me BOLDY state - I HATE SHORTENING!
That is one reason why I mentioned this cookie is bland - shortening.
But to come to my own soapbox defense, here's why you need the shortening, to get the lift on the cookie. So, yes you "can" use
butter but your cookies will spread.
To frost or not to frost?So, you may not frost these, right? You are wanting to focus on
just the brown sugar cookie recipe part, right? Okay, then I would highly
suggest using butter instead of shortening. You will get a much
richer flavor. They will spread, but you will make up in taste with the butter since
you are losing the butter in the frosting.
What can I use instead of rum for the frosting?
