I've made these cookies several times now and they're always a crowd-pleaser. They're the perfect balance of sweet and boozy, and the raisins add a nice chewy texture.

These cookies were a hit! They were easy to make and turned out perfectly. The rum raisin flavor was delicious and the cookies were the perfect texture - crispy on the edges and soft in the middle.
