re: So I got this weird idea to bake some cookies, I think I'm onto something

I forgot to update

They actually came out really good. But the rum flavor really didn't come through

Really they tasted more like coconut/sugar cookies which were fine. I was really hoping that the spiced rum flavor would come through but it didn't.

I think the problem is that you would have to add too much rum and it would make the batter too moist. That might be why rum cakes work well, because the batter can be more moist.
