1/2 c. granulated sugar

1 tsp. cinnamon

2 tsp. baking powder

3/4 lb. sweet butter (softened)

4 eggs

2 tbsp. rum

Sift the dry ingredients into a bowl.

Make a well in the center and put the softened butter, eggs and rum in well.

Gradually mix the flour into other ingredients.

Let the mixture, which will be a paste, stand at room temperature, uncovered, for 2 hours.

Divide into small balls the size of 2 tablespoons, and bake them in a waffle iron.

Cool on a rack and store as for cookies.
