Eggnog Spritz cookies

                                 
- 1 c powdered sugar
- 1 c butter, softened
- 1 tsp rum extract
- 1 md egg
- 2 1/3 c all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp salt
RUM GLAZE
- 2 Tbsp butter, melted
- 1 c powdered sugar
- 1 tsp rum extract
- 1 Tbsp water
- 1/2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
1. Heat oven to 400 F. In large bowl, beat powdered sugar, butter, rum extract and egg until light and fluffy. Beat in flour, nutmeg and salt until well blended.
2. Fit cookie press with desired template. Fill cookie press; press dough onto ungreased cookie sheets.
3. Bake 5 to 7 minutes or until edges are firm but not brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheets. Let cookies cool before you glaze them.
4. For glaze: Stir all the glaze ingredients together until smooth and thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle on cookies. I usually use my cake decorator but you can put it in a plastic baggie and cut off a corner and squeeze it out or just drizzle with a knife all crazy like. Before glaze is set, sprinkle with nutmeg. Instead of grated nutmeg you can add colored sprinkles for the festive occasion.
