Cover; process until pea cans are finely chopped.  Combine sugar mixture, 1 cup butter, 2 tbsp rum or milk, and vanilla in large bowel. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Reduce speed to low, add flour, baking powder and salt.  Beat until well mixed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Divide dough in half. Shape each half, on lightly floured surface, into 10-inch long log.  Flatten sides to form triangle shape on waxed paper.  Wrap each log in plastic wrap or wax paper and refrigerate until firm (2 hours).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Heat oven to 375 degrees. Cut each log into 1\/4-inch slices with sharp knife.  Place 1-inch apart on cookie sheets. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until edges begin to brown.  Cool completely.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Meanwhile, combine all filling ingredients except half and half in a small bowl.  Beat at low speed adding enough half and half to obtain desired consistency.  For each sandwich cookie, spread 3\/4 tsp filling on bottom of cookie.  Top with second cookie and press together gently.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nNOTE: For SNOLAB (alcohol free) substitute vanilla extract and milk for the&hellip;\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cooleysekula.net\/cooking\/index.php\/2025\/12\/16\/butter-rum-sandwich-triangles\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &ldquo;Butter Rum Sandwich Triangles&rdquo;<\/span>&hellip;<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":509,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-510","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cookies","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cooleysekula.net\/cooking\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/510","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cooleysekula.net\/cooking\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cooleysekula.net\/cooking\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cooleysekula.net\/cooking\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cooleysekula.net\/cooking\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=510"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cooleysekula.net\/cooking\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/510\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":511,"href":"https:\/\/cooleysekula.net\/cooking\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/510\/revisions\/511"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cooleysekula.net\/cooking\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/509"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cooleysekula.net\/cooking\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=510"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cooleysekula.net\/cooking\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=510"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cooleysekula.net\/cooking\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=510"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
