Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Mix in the vanilla extract followed by the all-purpose flour and salt. Stir until a soft dough forms.
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Using your thumb or the back of a spoon, make an indentation in the center of each cookie. Be careful not to press all the way to the bottom.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges begin to turn lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cookies are cooling, prepare the rum glaze by whisking together the dark rum, powdered sugar, and heavy cream in a small bowl until smooth.
Once the cookies are fully cooled, spoon or pipe a small amount of the rum glaze into the center of each indentation.
Let the glaze set for 10-15 minutes before serving. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
