  • Cookies

    • 🧈 ¾ cup butter, softened
    • 🍚 ½ cup white sugar
    • 🍯 ¼ cup packed brown sugar
    • 🥚 1 egg
    • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 🌾 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 🧂 ¼ teaspoon salt

  • Filling

    • 🧈 ¼ cup butter
    • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
    • 1 tablespoon rum

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

2

In a medium bowl, cream together 3/4 cup butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine flour and salt; stir into the creamed mixture by hand to form a soft dough.
