I had to do it, you know it was going to come from me sooner or later – some sort of adult-ish cookie was going to go appear during #cookieweek.  There was honestly no way around it, separating my liquor cabinet from my baking pantry is a difficult task, I just love the flavor that spirits brings to baked goods.

Now unlike my other spirit infused baked goods this one should be fine for the kids to indulge in.  Our raisins take a nice soak in some spiced rum and then those rum soaked raisins plus any remaining rum gets added to the cookie dough, which then gets baked out in the oven. Using a nice dark spiced rum also means you don’t need to break into your spice cabinet to season up these cookies like you might regular oatmeal raisin cookies.  I swear these might just be some of the easiest cookies to toss together. Perfect for unexpected visitors and they stay fresh for awhile, so pack them away to mail to friends and loved ones!

    With all the family one must encounter around the holidays, a little alcohol is definitely necessary, no? Love that you infused it into cookies! I mean, you’ll be eating them anyway so might as well get a little buzz going with it!
