Hmmm...there wasn't enough rum in it. If you want a cookie that you can barely taste the rum, then these are it. I'd add more rum to it. They just kind of tasted plain. Sorry, I really wanted to like them. They rolled very nicely though and smell good. It just kind of tasted flat on flavor to me though.

    I have made something similar to these in the past so I knew these would be wonderful, I increased the rum to 3 tablespoons, in my convection oven they needed very little time to brown somthing like 8 minutes, we really enjoyed these little treats thanks for sharing Rita!

    Excellent cookies! I wish it made more...one should definitely double the batch. I mixed by hand, which was very easy and I used rum extract as a sub for the rum, but other than that, followed to a "T". I got 34 cookies out of the batch and they took exactly 12 minutes to bake. Next time, I will roll the cookies in the sugar instead of just dusting...just my personal preference with cookies like this. Thanks for posting!
