Rum cookies (aka rum cake cookies)

[RodP1974]

I need help!!!!! Please!!!!
I’m a novice baker that needs help solving a baking issue. I attempted to bake rum flavored cookies but I cannot seem to get the rum taste to stay. I’m aware the alcohol burns off during the baking process, but I’ve also added 2 teaspoons of rum flavor along with at most 1/2 of rum to the batter and there’s no taste of rum at all inside the cookies after they’re baked. Should I add more extract? Please help, what am I doing wrong.

Use a bakery emulsion or oil-based flavoring for baked goods.

Bakery emulsions are water-based and heat-stable, so their flavor holds up during baking.

Flavoring oils are oil-soluble, heat stable, and more concentrated, allowing them to deliver a stronger flavor than water-based emulsions.

Extracts, on the other hand, are alcohol-based and volatile, so their flavor will diminish as the alcohol evaporates.

Two online sources for flavorings are Olive Nation and Chef Rubber. Don’t let Chef Rubber’s unusual name put you off—the company is highly regarded by professional pastry chefs for the quality of its products.

LorAnn is a well known manufacturer, but I am not a fan.


Water based bakery emulsions and oil based flavoring should be stored in a cool dark cabinet and have a two year shelf life.

Is it possible to make your own oil based flavorings - how ?

Is it possible to make your own oil based flavorings - how ?

Yes, it’s possible, but there’s an important distinction between infusing an oil for a recipe and creating a concentrated, oil-based flavoring. Without a clear understanding of the types and concentrations of flavor compounds, the appropriate carrier oils, and the correct parameters for temperature, timing, and extraction, it’s difficult to reliably control potency, stability, and shelf life.

Would you know of any Kosher brands ?

Would you know of any Kosher brands ?

You will need to look at the Product specification of each flavoring to confirm it is kosher. Despite my search specifically stating “kosher” the websites still pull up non Kosher products.
