List of Ingredients




1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons rum flavoring
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 large egg
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon salt
red and green colored sugars


Recipe



Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer set on medium speed, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add rum flavoring, vanilla extract, and egg to butter mixture; beat until well combined.

In a medium bowl, sift together flour, ground nutmeg, and salt. Combine the flour mixture with the butter mixture; mix until a dough forms. Divide the dough into 8 pieces. Roll each piece of dough to form a log shape about ¾” thick.

Place the red and green sugars on separate sheets of waxed paper. Roll each dough log in either sugar, covering log completely. Cut dough log crosswise into 3” pieces. Transfer dough logs onto ungreased baking sheets, set about 1” apart.

Bake until lightly golden, about 14 minutes. Place baking sheets on wire racks; cool about 10 minutes. Transfer cookies to wire racks; cool completely.

To create bakery-style cookies, omit the colored sugars and bake recipe as directed. Dip the ends of the cooked cookies into melted chocolate and then into chopped walnuts.
