These are great! My husband has pretty much polished them off in 2 days by himself, I will have to make a couple more batches for the christmas tins. One hint, I didn't know how big to make the balls of dough, to get 40 cookies, make them about 3/4 inch in diameter.

This recipe didn't work at all. There wasn't enough liquid to make a dough so I started adding a little more rum until there was, at which point, the butter started melting and then it was too wet. Maybe if you mix with your hands to melt the butter and add a little more rum than called for it might work. I tried baking them anyway, but they really didn't taste all that interesting, so it wasn't worth trying to save the rest of the dough. Just kinda like chocolate cookies. And mine came out looking more like brown pretzels than crowns anyway.

These were great! I made them for company and everyone raved. They were so impressed with my cooking abilities... and really, these are soo easy. I didn't change a thing about the recipe... my only tip is that you really have to put the icing on as soon as they are out of the oven. Otherwise, it won't melt and it'll taste too sweet. (We had leftovers, and when we reheated them, the icing was a little thick and too sweet. We just heated them up a little more and they were still great.)
