Eggnog Spritz Cookies
2/3 cup sugar
1 cup butter, softened
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
For Glaze
1 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup butter, softened
2 tablespoons water
1/4 teaspoon rum extract
Heat oven to 400F. In large mixer bowl combine sugar,
butter, egg, salt, spices, and vanilla. Beat at medium
speed, scraping bowl often, until mixture is light and
fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add flour. Beat at low speed,
scraping bowl often, until well mixed, 2 to 3 minutes.
If dough is too soft, cover and refrigerate until firm
enough to form cookies, 30 to 45 minutes. Place dough in
cookie press. Form desired shapes 1 inch apart on cookie
sheets. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes or until edges are
lightly browned. For Glaze, in small bowl stir together
powdered sugar, butter, water, and rum extract until
