Tips:

  • Use a kitchen scale to measure ingredients for precise and accurate results.
  • If you don't have a marble slab, you can use a large baking sheet or cutting board.
  • Make sure the butter is cold and firm before grating it, as this will help prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this can make the cookies tough.
  • For a more intense rum flavor, use dark rum instead of light rum.
  • If you don't have pecan pieces, you can substitute walnuts or almonds.
