Rumprints
An anonymous commentor asked for a cookie recipe and always one up for a challenge, here you go. I don't have a photo for this one, but it has been a favourite since I was a little girl, probobly because of the rum. I will post a photo when I make some this weekend.

Hello Beachmama, can I simply substitute butter for margarine in your recipe or will that mess things all up?

Ahhh, hello David :)and welcome! You can use butter, but the texture will not be quite the same.
It may not make that much of a difference if you have never had them before. They will turn out more like shortbread which is a bit crumbly. The margarine makes them stick together better, I find.
Will post another recipe later today!
