Have you ever used this recipe to make cookies. I had some Butter Rum Muffin Ttop Cookies and they were delicious. They were a flat cookie that puffed up and may have had the glaze on them they were wonderful. They also had butterscotch chips in them but you didn't see the chips. I would love to find this recipe if you could help.
