Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a medium bowl, use an electric hand mixer to combine the ½ cup butter, ½ cup granulated sugar and ½ cup brown sugar for about 1 minute.
Add 1 egg and 2 tbsp rum and beat again until just combined.
Add 1 tsp baking soda, ¼ tsp salt, 1 ½ cup all purpose flour, and 1 ½ tbsp hot buttered rum mix and mix by hand until the dough comes together.
Use a 1.5” cookie scoop to scoop the cookies onto a baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 9-10 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool, and enjoy!

Brown Sugar: I use dark brown sugar because it has a more molasses-y taste. I would recommend dark brown, but light brown sugar will work in a pinch

Rum: I use a Spiced Rum.
Hot Buttered Rum Mix: You cannot make this recipe without the amazing Hot Buttered Rum Mix by The Spice Hunter! This is a powdered mix that combines with rum to make Hot Buttered Rum. It is delightful and very affordable on their website!
While I love large cookies, these cookies don’t bake correctly when made into a larger form, so I would recommend sticking to small cookies for this recipe
For more buttered rum flavor, you can also roll the cookies in the hot buttered rum mix before baking, similar to a snickerdoodle.
If your cookies start getting stale, add a piece of white bread into the ziploc bag with them. It will keep them fresh for longer.
You can keep baking the cookies for a few more minutes, which will result in crispier bottoms with soft middles.
If you want a stronger rum taste, you can also use ½-1 tsp of rum extract.
