Yield: 4 dozen
Ingredients
- 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch or arrowroot powder
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon cloves
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup (1½ sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
- ¼ cup spiced rum
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Whisk flour, cornstarch, spices and salt in a medium bowl.
- Add butter and ⅓ cup confectioner's sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer; mix on medium speed until light and fluffy.
- Add rum and vanilla. With speed on low, gradually add in flour mixture until a dough is formed.
- Divide dough in half. Shape each half into a log about 1¼ inches thick. Roll into long pieces of parchment paper and chill in freezer for at least 30 minutes.
- When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350° F, and line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- Unwrap logs, and slice into coins about ¼ inch thick. Place coins an inch apart on the cookie sheets, and bake until golden, about 15 minutes.
- Transfer cookies to cooling racks. After about 10 minutes, add cookies to a plastic bag and toss with remaining ⅔ cup confectioner's sugar. You may need to do this in two batches, each using ⅓ cup of confectioner's sugar.
- Cookies can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
Notes / Variations
The frozen cookie dough can be kept in the freezer for up to a month before baking.
I often roll my dough logs slightly smaller than the suggested 1 1/1 inches thick, and end up with roughly nickel-sized cookies. The cook time is essentially the same -- and they're easier to pop more into your mouth, if you ask me!
