List of Ingredients

1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 tablespoon milk
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1-1/2 teaspoons ground nutmeg or ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt




Recipe

In the mixing bowl of an electric mixer on medium speed, beat brown sugar, butter, milk, egg and vanilla until light and fluffy. In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. At low speed, gradually beat flour mixture into butter mixture until well blended.

Fill a cookie press or pastry bag with dough and press out chosen design onto greased cookie sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove to racks to cool, and decorate as desired. Makes about 3 dozen cookies.

Frost with Eggnog Glaze: In a small bowl, stir together 1 cup powdered sugar, ¼ cup melted butter and ¼ teaspoon rum extract. Stir in enough hot water, about 1 to 2 tablespoons, to make a glaze. While still warm, brush top of each cookie with glaze, and sprinkle with candies.
