For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of softened butter. If you don't have rum or brandy extract, you can substitute vanilla extract. Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For a festive touch, add a pinch of gold or silver edible glitter to the colored sugar mixture.
