2 tsp. rum extract
2 tbsp. butter, melted

Sift together flour, baking soda and spices; set aside. Combine brown sugar, egg and rum extract; beat until light. Blend in melted butter. Gradually add flour mixture alternately with milk. Add remaining ingredients and stir until well coated.

Drop on greased cookie sheets, using 1 heaping teaspoonful for each. Bake in a 325 degree oven, about 15 minutes. Remove from pan immediately. Makes about 6 dozen. My favorite Christmas cookie!
