Awesome no-bake cookies specially made for adults. Cookie balls made with pumpkin spices, Rumchata and rum. These cookies are prefect for parties or just a cup of evening tea.
“Honey, I want some cookies but I don’t feel like baking. Oh, I know! How about some cookie balls? Better yet, Rum Balls! Boozie cookies would be a perfect “parent treat.” Now, what flavor, cinnamon? Or better yet, how about pumpkin pie spice?”
“Oooh, I love pumpkin, let’s do pumpkin!”
“No, no, honey, pumpkin spice…”spice”…no pumpkin.”
“Yes, I get it, pumpkin, I love pumpkin.”
And this went on for a while. Five minutes into my head nearly exploding, I realized he was messing with me. Cruel…so cruel. He knows how much it bugs me when people think that pumpkin pie spice and pumpkin are actually not the same thing. Pumpkin pie spice, is a mix of spices that is traditionally used in a pumpkin pie. I love using pumpkin pie spice to flavor desserts and drinks, just like these rum balls. These tasty, tasty rum ball treats!

What’s the best way to store these? How far ahead can I make them?

Hi Andrea! You ca make these a day or two in advance, just so they are nice and fresh. Store them in the fridge in an air-tight container. They don’t have to in the fridge if you’re serving them the same day. I keep all my cookie balls in the fridge because we can never eat them fast enough and they last much longer that way.
I really hope you enjoy them!

Well…while these sound amazing, and I will be making them ASAP, I do have to comment that pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice are not the same thing. I mean…pumpkin is a squash and pumpkin pie spice is, as you said, a mixture of spices used to make a pumpkin pie. Not the same thing.

These sound delicious! Will be making them for a Harvest Party this weekend. Can you tell me how many actual cookie balls the recipe makes – serves 12 is not clear if it’s only 12 cookies or multiples of twelve. Need to know for planning purposes. I have a similar recipe with cocoa and rum that I make and it makes 48 rum balls. Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Deb! I’m SO sorry for the late response. I actually just noticed that the final recipe format says “serves” because it’s different in the draft. It actually makes 12 rum balls. You can double the recipe or make the rum balls smaller to make more. Thank you!

I want to make the Pumpkin Spice Rum Balls, but what is Rumchata and where can I find it?
