These cookies are excellent. After dividing dough into 3 portions, I wrapped in saran wrap & put in fridge for a hour. The dough was very easy to work with. After I made the frosting with 2 tsp rum extract, I thought next time I should cut back on it as I found it strong tasting, but next day, it had mellowed out & was perfect.

These cookies were amazing! Definitely one of my favorites. I didn't have nutmeg on hand so i used a pumpkin spice mix and sprinkled cinnamon on the top of them. Delicious!

These were very easy to make, and true to quantity. The recipe made exactly 36 cookies. I followed the recipe exactly and didn't have a problem rolling them, although I did flour my hands first. These were a hit at our family Christmas party.

We use 3 c flour in our recipe and don't have problems with them flattening! Also agree on refrigerating, makes it easier to roll and not so sticky!

These were easier to make than expected, and no trouble with them flattening. I think the rum taste was a bit stronger than my ideal. I might try reducing the rum extract in the frosting a bit, and adding a little bit of vanilla instead.

It doesn't say, but I had to refrigerate dough in order to roll, and wrapped in Saran Wrap. Also, picture shows using fresh nutmeg, but 1-1/4 tsp fresh is alot, I think, since can be toxic. The cookies flattened out in baking, so I find it hard to believe those pictured were after baking. They were, nevertheless, DELICIOUS.
