Cookie Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. Melt the butterscotch chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals until smooth.
  4. Beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Mix in the melted butterscotch chips, eggs, vanilla extract, butter extract, rum extract, and cream soda.
  6. Gradually add the dry mixture and mix until just combined.
  7. Chill the dough covered in plastic wrap for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
  8. Scoop the dough into equal-sized balls and place them on prepared baking sheets, spaced 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set but centers are soft.
  10. Remove from oven and cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  11. Mix the sifted powdered sugar with heavy cream or milk until smooth to prepare frosting.
  12. Once cookies are cooled, apply frosting generously on top of each cookie.
