Recipe Introduction


Sparkling sugar granules heighten the appeal of a cookie that you can cut into any shape you like.


List of Ingredients




3/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp rum extract or vanilla
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp grated nutmeg
1/2 tsp baking powder
Pinch salt

Sparkling Glaze:
1 egg white
1 t. water
1/2 cup sparkling large-crystal granulated sugar

Recipe



Line rimless baking sheets with parchment paper or grease; set aside.

In large bowl, beat butter until fluffy; beat in brown sugar until smooth. Beat in egg and rum extract. In separate bowl, whisk together flour, nutmeg, baking powder and salt; stir into butter mixture, one-third at a time, to make smooth dough. Divide in half; shape into discs. Wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)

Between waxed paper or on floured surface, roll out dough to scant 1/4-inch thickness. With 3-inch cookie cutter, cut out shapes, rerolling scraps. With spatula, place cookies, 1 inch apart, on prepared pans.

Sparkling Glaze: Whisk egg white with water; brush over shapes. Sprinkle with sugar; press sugar gently.

Bake in top and bottom thirds of 375°F oven, rotating and switching pans halfway through, until bottoms are golden, about 10 minutes. Let cool for 2 minutes on pans on racks. Transfer to racks to let cool completely.

(Make ahead: Layer between waxed paper in airtight container and store at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 weeks.)

Variation: roll into balls and flatten slightly with bottom of glass. Proceed with sparkling glaze.
