Peculiar looking flourless cookies. For rum-packed flavor try using 2 teaspoons rum extract in place of the vanilla.

I have made these cookies every christmas for almost 20 years. I roll them in shredded coconut press a thumbprint in them to hold a slice of red and green candied cherry. They look very beautiful like that on the christmas cookie platter Read More

These are pretty good if you use REAL rum. I tried with the rum extract and the vanilla extract but they tasted more like imitation flavorings. So I tried the recipe using Bacardi 151 Rum and they were exceptional!! I reccomend using REAL rum for a truely better tasting cookie!! Read More

These are great. I combine the sugar and beaten eggs before adding them to the melted butter so the eggs don't 'fry'. Also I add the coconut to the mixture with the cereal and roll them in powdered sugar. Read More

Very easy and very very good. My only problem with these is how sweet they are. (With the butter sugar and eggs they taste quite a bit like butter tarts and they're that sweet too.) Read More

We wound up nicknaming these Crisp Rice Treats for Grown-Ups because of the wonderful rum flavor (used Captain Morgan) along with the texture we remember from childhood crisp rice treats. Delicious and a pretty big hit with our cookie share who liked the unusual treat. (didn't use the coconut) Read More
