List of Ingredients




1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
� 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 �� 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.
