Christmas Cookie Recipe

[OldsRecording]

This is one of my Mom's recipes, and is, in my opinion, Christmas embodied in a cookie.

Nutmeg Logs

1 cup soft butter
2 tsp. vanilla
2 tsp. rum flavoring
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
3 cups flour
1 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. salt

Cream butter with flavorings, gradually beat in sugar, blend in egg, add flour, nutmeg and salt. Shape dough oon sugared board into long rolls (about 3/4" in diameter), cut into 2" pieces, bake for 12-15 min @ 350.

Frosting

cream 1/3 cup butter with 1 tsp. vanilla, 2 tsp. rum flavoring, blend in 2 cups confectioner's sugar and 2 tsp. milk.

When cookies are cool, frost and sprinkle with nutmeg.

Can you use rum instead of rum flavoring?

This CERTAINLY isn't my mother's recipe, but gather it had to come from a low brass player so figured I would contribute to the festive season kitchen fun.

Enjoy.

Can you use rum instead of rum flavoring?

Unfortunately, no. Rum extract has a much more intense flavor than actual rum. However, if you want to use rum WITH the cookies, be my guest.

"cut into 2" pieces"

So, each cookie is a log, two inches long?

Or should I bake it on end, so it flattens itself into a disk?

thanks, Bruce

Yes, each piece is about 1.5-2 in. long. BTW, they don't spread out (there is no baking powder or soda), so the shape you roll them into is the size they will be when baked, so I usually flatten them out slightly.
