Fun for kids. Ingredients:
1 cup butter or 1 cup margarine, softened |
3/4 cup sugar |
1 1/4 teaspoons ground nutmeg |
1 egg |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
3 cups all-purpose flour |
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine, softened |
3 cups confectioners' sugar, divided |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/4 teaspoon rum extract |
2 tablespoons light cream |
ground nutmeg |
Directions:
1. In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add the nutmeg, egg and extracts; mix thoroughly. Stir in flour.
2. If necessary, chill dough for easier handling.
3. On a lightly floured surface, shape dough into 1/2 inch diameter rolls; cut each into 3 inch long pieces. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
4. Bake 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on wire rack.
5. For frosting, cream butter until light and fluffy. Add 2 cups sugar and extracts; mix well. Beat in cream and remaining sugar. Frost cookies. With times of a small fork, make lines down the frosting to simulate bark. Sprinkle with nutmeg.
