So I got sent home for the second time this week because my co-workers don't want to catch my version of the plague. (It's just a cold... but whatever.) My idea of resting is plopping down in front of the laptop high on Zicam. While I'm here, I might as well throw out a recipe for some cookies I made last month... since you are healthy and can bake... and I can't. (Jealous!)
The cookies are from this $3 book I found at Michael's a couple years back. They are great for fall (that is, of course, if you consider weather in the high 80s to be "fall"... ugh.) On the bright side, the recipe contains rum. Woo Hoo!
Spiced Cookies:
3/4 cup sweet butter
1 cup dark brown sugar
2 cups all purpose flour
salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground cloves
2 tbsp dark rum (okay... it's not that much... but still...)
Lightly grease 2 cookie sheets. (Or use a non-stick pan like everyone else does.) In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and dark brown sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Sift the flour, salt, spices into mixture and mix well until all the ingredients are combined.
Stir in the dark rum.
Using 2 teaspoons, place small mounds of the misture onto the cookie sheets 3 inches apart. Flatten each mound slightly with a fork.
Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
