Nutmeg Logs
1 cup butter, softened
2 teaspoon vanilla
2 teaspoon rum flavoring
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
3 cup sifted flour
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 350 F. Cream softened butter with the flavorings. Beat in the sugar, then mix in the egg. In a separate bowl, stir the flour, nutmeg, and salt. Mix with the butter/sugar mixture. Shape the resulting dough into snakes about 1/2 inch in diameter, and cut the pieces to 3 inches in length. Bake on a greased cookie sheet for 12-15 minutes. Remove to a wire rack to cool. Frost with rum frosting. Make grooves in the frosting with a fork, and sprinkle ground nutmeg on the logs while the frosting is still moist.

I love this! These remind me of something mama made when I was little. Thanks so much.

Leann, Mildred, Mandie, and youdafatkitty (hmmm, hee,hee, that felt a bit like name calling), I can only vouch for the chocolate/orange sandies, but I plan to make Trish's nutmeg logs in a few weeks. Wish I had either one of these this morning with a cup of steaming coffee.
Thanks, all, for stopping by....Cathy
