Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

Beat together the shortening, confectioners' sugar, milk and rum extract until creamy.

Shape dough into balls by the teaspoonful and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in the preheated 325 degrees F oven for 15-18 minute.

While still warm from the oven, roll them in confectioners' sugar, then finish cooling on a wire rack.

When completely cool, roll in the confectioners' sugar again. Store in an airtight container.
