Notes

  • Recipe copyright The Foreign Fork. For educational or personal use only. 
  • I use dark brown sugar because it has a more molasses-y taste. I would recommend dark brown, but light brown sugar will work in a pinch 
  • I use a Spiced Rum.
  • You cannot make this recipe without the amazing
  • Hot Buttered Rum Mix
  • by
  • The Spice Hunter
  • ! This is a powdered mix that combines with rum to make Hot Buttered Rum. It is delightful and very affordable on their website!
  • While I love large cookies, these cookies don’t bake correctly when made into a larger form, so I would recommend sticking to small cookies for this recipe
  • For more buttered rum flavor, you can also roll the cookies in the hot buttered rum mix before baking, similar to a snickerdoodle. 
  • If your cookies start getting stale, add a piece of white bread into the ziploc bag with them. It will keep them fresh for longer. 
  • You can keep baking the cookies for a few more minutes, which will result in crispier bottoms with soft middles. 
  • If you want a stronger rum taste, you can also use ½-1 tsp of rum extract.
