Christmas Cookies 2005


List of Ingredients




Cookies:
1 cup butter, softened
¾ cup sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
¼ tsp. rum flavoring
1 egg
2 ¾ cups flour
1 tsp. nutmeg
¼ tsp. salt
Sugar

Frosting:
1/3 cup butter
1 tsp. vanilla
¼ tsp. rum flavoring
2 cups powdered sugar
2 Tbs. half-and-half, light cream or milk
Ground nutmeg


Recipe



Cookies: In a large bowl, beat the butter for 30 seconds. Beat in the sugar, vanilla and rum flavoring. Beat until combined, scraping bowl occasionally. Beat in egg. In a large bowl, combine flour, nutmeg and salt; gradually beat flour mixture into butter mixture. Cover and chill about 1 hour or until dough is easy to handle.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sprinkle a sheet of waxed paper with sugar. On the waxed paper, shape dough into ½” diameter logs. Cut logs into 2 ½” portions. Place portions 1” apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool.
Frosting: In a medium bowl, beat the butter for 30 seconds. Beat in the vanilla and rum flavoring. Beat in powdered sugar and half-and-half. Spread frosting on tops and sides of cookies. Using tines of a fork, mark frosting to resemble bark; lightly sprinkle with additional nutmeg.
