Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tsp rum extract
  • 1-1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • dash salt
  • frosting:
  • 3 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1-1/2 to 2 tsp rum extract
  • 2 to 3 tbsp 2% milk

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and extract. Combine the flour, nutmeg and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well.
  2. Divide dough into three portions. Roll each portion into 3/4-in.-thick logs; cut into 2-in. pieces. Place on ungreased baking sheets; flatten slightly.
  3. Bake at 350°, for 12-16 minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned. Cool for 2 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
  4. For frosting, in a large bowl, beat butter until fluffy. Beat in the confectioners' sugar, extract and enough milk to achieve desired consistency. Frost cookies. Press down with tines of a fork, making lines down frosting to simulate tree bark. Sprinkle with nutmeg. Yield: 3 dozen.
