I guess we will all be fat, broke and drunk if we make all these cookie recipes.

that is funny what you said Carol!!! I guess we will just have to pick only a few cookie recipes for each holiday so we won't be too fat or broke

the people that raised me used to make these every Christmas time, but I never really developed a taste for them, my attitude was always take em or leave em, but i do like hot chocolate with rum in them, I think if the rum were substitued with another flavor Id probably like them more

tHANKS FOR THE RECIPE. I've already printed it out. Does it matter what kind of rum is used?
