Yield: 24 cookies
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 1 cup rum-soaked raisins; 1 cup unsalted butter, softened; 1 cup brown sugar; 1/2 cup granulated sugar; 2 eggs, room temperature; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour; 1 teaspoon baking soda; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg; 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Ensure your rum-soaked raisins are well-drained before using them in the recipe.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.
Fold in the rum-soaked raisins and chopped walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie for spreading.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden brown. Be sure not to overbake to keep the cookies soft and chewy.
Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve these Old Fashioned Rum Raisin Cookies with a glass of cold milk or a warm cup of tea for the ultimate cozy treat.
