Are there any ways to make rum cookies other than baking them

bakingcookies

In the 1935 Walt Disney animated short `The Cookie Carnival' three tipsy rum cookies sing that all other cookies are baked in a pan but a rum cookie always is stewed.

Is that just a play-on-words or can rum cookies be prepared without baking? I have read about boiled cookies but, like bagels, the last step is to bake them.

Best Answer

Rum balls are prepared without cooking. I’m not aware of any cookie-like thing which is simply boiled or “stewed”, and I doubt anything one could produce that way would be recognizable as a cookie.
