Rum & Spice Cookies

• Cookie:
• 3/4 cup butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp ground allspice
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup honey
• 3 tbsp rum
• 2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
• Topping:
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 3/4 tsp allspice

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter with an electric mixer on medium speed for 30 seconds. Add 1 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and 1/2 tsp allspice; beat until combined. Beat in the egg, honey, and rum. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in any remaining flour with a wooden spoon. Divide dough in half. Cover and chill for 1 hour, or until dough can be shaped into rolls.
2. In a separate dish, stir together 1/2 cup sugar and 3/4 tsp allspice. Shape each half of cough into an 8-in roll; roll each in the sugar-allspice mixture to coat. Wrap in waxed paper or plastic wrap. Chill for 2 hours or until firm. Cover and reserve remaining sugar and spice mixture.
3. Cut the chilled dough into 1/4-in slices. Place slices about 2 in apart on lightly greased baking sheets. Sprinkle with reserved sugar-allspice mixture. Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are firm and bottoms are lightly browned.
4. Remove cookies and cool on a rack.
