Hello, I made these for an early Thanksgiving potluck at work (2012) and was really disappointed. Out of the 20+ people who tried them, I did not get one thumbs up. No one at home liked them either. I'm an avid baker, especially of cookies. They are very ordinary and I would not make them again, even if I "doctored" them up. I did follow the recipe exactly, bought nutmeg and ground it fresh, as well as high quality rum. The one positive comment I received was that the frosting was good. Thank you. I'm sorry to hear that this wasn't a hit for you. I've never run into that reaction before. I hope you'll find other recipes on our site that work out better for you. ~ MaryJane
