Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Dark rum
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using a hand or stand mixer.
Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and dark rum, mixing until fully incorporated.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft cookie dough forms. Do not overmix.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them at least 1.5 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the cookies generously with powdered sugar for a festive touch.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
