Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Cookie sheet

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups gluten free flour blend *see note
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup raisins
  • ¼ cup dark rum *see note
  • 2 eggs large
  • ½ cup butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract do not use imitation

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350º F.
  • In a small microwave safe bowl, add the rum and raisins. Microwave on high for 60 seconds. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, add your dry ingredients and whisk to blend.
  • Add the wet ingredients to a smaller bowl and whisk to mix.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and add the raisins and rum mixture. Mix well.
  • (You can also use a standing mixer if you prefer.)
  • Use a cookie scoop to drop the cookie balls onto a parchment paper lined cookies sheet.
  • Bake 9-10 minutes until the cookies are done. Slide the parchment paper with the cookies off the cookie sheet and onto a cooling rack. The cookies will be soft, and that is normal. They will set as they cool.

Notes

  1. I have tested this recipe with King Arthur Measure for Measure GF and Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 GF blend in this recipe. That doesn't mean others will not work, I just have not tested other flours.
  2. If your gluten free flour blend doesn’t contain Xanthan Gum or Guar Gum, please add 1 teaspoon.
  3. If you prefer not to use rum, you can substitute McCormick's rum extract for the dark rum.
  4. To make this recipe dairy-free, substitute the butter for vegan butter.
  5. These cookies will keep up to 4 days in an air-tight container, or up to 4 months in the freezer.
 

SPECIAL NOTE

Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn't test, you may need to adjust your moisture levels in your baked goods.
