Rum Raisin And Cashew Drop Cookies Recipes

RUM RAISINS COOKIES RECIPE

Steps:

• 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.

• Drop dough in 2-tablespoon-size balls on parchment-lined baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake until cookies are golden around the edges but still soft in the center, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool on sheets 1 to 2 minutes, then transfer to wire racks and let cool completely.
