EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

The end of a wooden spoon works like a thumb to indent each of these small rum-flavored cookies. If any indentions fill in during baking, indent them again immediately upon removing the cookie from the oven.

Baked cookies can b be frozen before they are filled. Or fill the cookies and freeze them on a waxed paper-lined cookie sheet. Then pack frozen filled cookies between layers of waxed paper in an airtight container.

Divide the frosting into several small bowls and make each portion a different color.

These look like fun cookies, and I personally thought they were good, however I couldn't find a kid in a room of 50 that liked them. They were spit out after one bite. About half of the parents like them though. I think the dough would be good as just a drop cookie served with espresso for the grown-ups at a coffee table. Not a 'kid' cookie, in my opinion.
