Provided by Kathie Lapcevic

Time 8h45m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 Cup Dark Rum
1 ⅓ Cup Raisins
2 Tablespoons Flour
2 Tablespoons Butter
2 Tablespoons Honey
1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
1 1/3 Cups Sugar
1 Cup Salted Butter, softened
2 Eggs
5 Cups Unbleached, All-Purpose Flour
4 teaspoons Baking Powder
1/2 Cup Milk
2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract

Steps:

  • Place the raisin in a clean jar and pour in the rum. Be sure to push the raisins down so that they are covered by the rum. Cover the jar and leave it sit at lease 8 hours. The raisins will swell slightly as they absorb some of the rum, that's perfect.
  • Whisk together the flour and baking powder. Set aside.
  • Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, beat well.
  • Slowly begin adding a little of the flour mixture, alternating with a bit of the milk while continuing mix and until all the flour and milk is added to the dough.
  • Remove the dough from the mixing bowl and divide in half. Pat dough into a circle. Cover with parchment or wax paper and chill for at least one hour (longer okay) before rolling.
  • In a small saucepan, melt the butter and honey together. Stir in the flour and stir for about a minute to make a roux. Add the lemon juice and all of the contents from the rum soaked raisin jar. Continue cooking until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely before assembling cookies.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • On a floured board, roll the cookie dough out to about 1/8 inch thickness. Use a round cookie cutter to cut into shapes.
  • On a greased or parchment lined cookie sheet, place rounds of dough 2 inches apart.
  • In the center of each cookie, drop a bit of the filling up to 1 teaspoon.
  • Brush the edges of the cookie rounds with water. Place another round of cookie dough on top of the filled cookie. Press the edges together to seal.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until edges turn a golden brown.
  • Cool on wire racks completely before storing.

Yield Makes about 4 1/2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup dark rum
1 cup dried currants
2 sticks (16 tablespoons) unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup finely shredded unsweetened coconut
1 teaspoon coarse salt

Steps:

  • Combine rum and currants; cover, and let stand at room temperature overnight. Drain, reserving 2 tablespoons rum.
  • Beat butter, sugar, and orange zest with a mixer on medium speed until creamy and smooth, about 2 minutes. Add vanilla and reserved rum, and beat until combined. Reduce speed to low. Add flour, coconut, and salt, and beat for 3 minutes. Stir in currants by hand.
  • Form dough into 2 logs, each about 1 1/2 inches in diameter; wrap in parchment, and refrigerate 1 hour (or up to 3 days).
