You never know when you need to make a quick batch up! I have a couple of quick and easy cookie recipes that are perfect to have on standby.

1 thought on “Chocolate Rum Crinkle Cookies”
My 11-yr old son LOVED these & asked for them to be made again ASAP. I found the dough (even after putting in fridge for several hours), to be a bit too loose to form into balls, but was still thick-ish – followed recipe exactly. I just plopped spoonfuls as I could into the powdered sugar & still worked fine. They are a very LIGHT cookie – I was expecting super dense given the batter, but was surprised how they cooked up. Still very chocolatey too. The rum flavor isn’t pronounced, but since I know it’s in there, think I can taste it a smidge.
