兰姆巧克力豆饼干 Chocolate Rum Cookies

This recipe is taken from Carol Hu's 'First Book of Baking for Beginners' which had helped a lot when I first picked up baking through self learning 3 years ago. During that time, I was lucky to come across 2 of her baking books which are still the most comprehensive baking recipe book I have seen from all recipe books so far.

这道饼干食谱取自于湖涓涓的‘烘焙新手必備的第一本書’，也是这三年以来给予我许多烘焙制做方面心得的食谱书籍。早前当我开始自己自修烘培食品时，非常幸运的找上了该作者出版的前两本烘焙书籍。一直到今日，我还是认为湖涓涓的书籍是我所收集的食谱书籍最详细完整值得收藏的烘培全书。

Unfortunately, her books is only published in Chinese language until now.  I hope her books would be printed in English language to benefit more people one day. If you do not have her book, you may also get check for this recipe from her site.
很可惜的是，目前她的书籍只限于中文版。希望她的书籍可以早日附上英文版好让跟多的人受益。您若没购买道她的书籍，可以在此参考到这道饼干食谱。
