To make these Cookies with Rum Glaze, you will need the following ingredients:

For the cookies:

- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

For the rum glaze:

- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup dark rum
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
This recipe makes about 24 cookies.
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cookies are cooling, prepare the rum glaze. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add in the brown sugar, rum, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt, and whisk until smooth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened.
Once the cookies have cooled, drizzle the rum glaze over the top of each cookie. Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before serving.
These Cookies with Rum Glaze are the perfect combination of sweet and boozy. The cookies themselves are soft and buttery, while the glaze adds a rich, caramel-like flavor with a hint of rum. They are sure to be a hit at any gathering or as a special treat for yourself.
