Ingredients
-
1 cup white sugar
3 large eggs
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup bourbon whiskey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 cup coarsely chopped butterscotch chips
3/4 cup coarsely chopped pecans
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Preparation
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Whisk sugar and 3 eggs together in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Mix in butter, bourbon, and vanilla extract.
Sift flour and baking powder together in a small bowl; add to egg mixture and stir until smooth dough forms. Fold in butterscotch chips and pecans.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface; divide into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into 2-inch wide by 9-inch long log; place on baking sheet. Brush logs with beaten egg.
Bake in preheated oven until pale golden, about 25 minutes. Cool until firm, about 15 minutes.
Cut each log diagonally into 1-inch thick slices on a work surface; place slices, cut-side down, on baking sheet.
Bake in oven until tops are golden, about 10 minutes. Invert slices and bake until tops are golden, about 10 minutes more.
