CELEBRITY FOOD STYLIST JESSE SZEWCZYK GIVES THESE HOT BUTTERED RUM SUGAR COOKIES A BOOZY SPIN

Steps:

• In a small saucepan over medium, melt butter. Cooking, stirring often to prevent milk solids from burning, 3-4 minutes or until butter foams, darkens in color slightly and is very fragrant. Immediately pour butter into a medium, heatproof bowl; chill 1½ hours or until mostly resolidified. (It's OK if butter is still slightly soft.) Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine flour, salt and baking soda. Set aside. Arrange racks in upper-middle and lower middle positions in oven. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick baking mats. In a large bowl, combine cooled butter and brown sugar. Beat on medium speed, 2-3 minutes, scraping down sides and bottom of bowl halfway through, until smooth and fully combined. Turn mixer off; add egg, molasses, rum and vanilla. Mix on medium speed 2-3 minutes or until very fluffy and lightened in color. With mixer running on low speed, gradually add flour mixture, beating until just combined. Place granulated sugar in a shallow, wide bowl. Using a medium 1¾-inch (#40) cookie scoop or 2 tablespoons, portion out dough and roll into balls. Roll balls in granulated sugar; place at least 3 inches apart on prepared baking sheets (12 per pan). Bake both sheets 10-13 minutes, swapping positions midway through baking, until cookies are lightly browned. Cool slightly on baking sheets, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely. Store cookies in an airtight container up to 1 week.
