Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups of powdered sugar
- 2 sticks of unsalted butter room temperature
- 2 cups of all purpose flour
- 1 cup raisins
- 1 tablespoon rum flavor or 2 tablespoon real rum
Instructions
- Cream the butter with the powder sugar until smooth.
- Incorporate the eggs one by one.
- Add the flour gradually.
- Add the raisins and the rum flavor to the batter. Mix to incorporate all ingredients.
- Refrigerate the dough for an hour, in the same bowl you mixed it. The dough will be soft initially, but it will be easy to scoop into small balls after refrigeration.
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper and drop with the spoon small balls of batter, leaving 1-2 inches distance between them. Cookies will spread a lot.
- Bake the cookies in the oven for no more than 10-12 mins. Keep an eye on them, as they should be in the oven only until they become lightly golden brown at the edges.
- Leave them on the cookie sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a rack to cool.
Notes
- Customizable: Substitute raisins with dried cranberries, cherries, or chocolate chips. Add nuts for crunch, or swap rum extract with real rum or vanilla for different flavors.
- Expert Tips: Chill the dough, space cookies on the baking sheet, watch baking time closely, and let cookies cool on the tray before moving.
- Storage Tips: Store baked cookies between parchment papers in an airtight container; refrigerate batter for up to 3 days for convenience.
