Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Lightly grease a cookie sheet; set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds.
  3. Add granulated sugar and the 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg.
  4. Beat until combined, scraping sides of bowl occasionally.
  5. Beat in egg yolks and vanilla. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer.
  6. Using a wooden spoon, stir in any remaining flour.
  7. If necessary, cover and chill about 1 hour, or until dough is easy to handle.
  8. Shape dough into 1-inch balls.
  9. Roll balls in egg whites, then in chopped walnuts to coat.
  10. Place balls about 1 inch apart on prepared cookie sheet.
  11. Press your thumb into the center of each ball.
  12. Bake in a 375-degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until edges are lightly browned.
  13. Transfer cookies to a wire rack; cool.
  14. To make filling: In a small mixing bowl, beat butter until softened. Add powdered sugar and beat until fluffy.
  15. Beat in rum or rum extract and enough milk to make a filling of spreading consistency.
  16. When cookies are cool, pipe or spoon about 1/2 teaspoon filling into the center of each.
  17. Sprinkle with additional nutmeg.
  18. Sherry's HInt: Don’t be wimpy about pushing your thumb into the cookie. A shallow depression will disappear in cooking. Also, pipe or spoon filling in just before serving. If you want to make in advance, bake cookies and freeze, then fill later
