The Holidays are here and the smell of baked goods and spices fill the air. Our house is no different. And I’m pretty sure I can say I’m not the only one who looks forward to the seasonal varieties of creamers to pop up on the shelves to make my mornings festive. While I use flavored creamers in my coffee every morning, it never occurred to me to try and use them in a recipe. That is, until I was recently asked to give one of Coffee-Mate’s new seasonal flavors a try.
Just smelling the Spiced Latte from the bottle had me thinking of cookies. Inspired, I came up with a holiday treat just for adults. These real alcohol spiked Spiced Rum Cookie Sandwiches are quick and easy to make and sure to be a hit with party guests or Santa.
Forget about leaving boring iced oatmeal cookies for Santa this Christmas. After all, if you were hard at work delivering toys to children all around the world in just one night, wouldn’t you much rather see these waiting for you?
Want to know the best part about this recipe? This filling would be amazing on carrot cake or pumpkin bread, but even better is you can put a spoonful in your coffee. It’s delightful! So make sure you save every last drop. Store it in the freezer and you’ll be able to enjoy Rum Spiced Coffee well into the New Year.

Coffee Mate is slowly becoming a movement! I talked extensively with them during BlogHer, and I was so tickled when I learned that you could use it to make waffles. These cookies look so delicious… please feel free to mail me some lolll :)
