/these cookies have no leavening. I can't imagine why. They did not turn out well. They also did not rise and were hard.

Way too much sugar and I even reduced the amount to 3/4 cup.

My batch of cookies tasted like bad pie dough so I tossed the unused dough into the trash after the first tray came out of the oven. I do not understand what I may have done wrong, or why the recipe contains no baking soda or baking powder.

I used rum in place of the rum extract and these cookies came out great. Really easy to make and very festive when dyed with red and green food coloring.
