These are one of my favoriet cookies to make during the holiday season. They are easy to make, and taste great. They disappear fast. Enjoy! Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened |
3/4 cup sugar |
1 egg |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
3 cups all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/3 cup butter, softened |
2 cups confectioners' sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 -3 tablespoons half-and-half cream |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine the flour, nutmeg and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well.
2. Divide dough into 14 pieces. Shape each portion into a 12-in. X 1/2-in. thick rope. Cut rope into 2-in. peices. Place 2 inches apart on greased baking sheets.
3. Bake at 350` for 9-12 minutes or until set and bottoms are lightly browned. Cool for 1 minute before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
4. For frosting, in a small bowl, beat buttler until fluffy. Add the confectioners' sugar and extracts; beat until blended. Beat in enough cream to achieve desired consistency.
