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 smooth. Drizzle or pipe over warm cookies.

Would make this again.
So easy to make. Had a little trouble with the dough being sticky, needed to freeze it to make it hard enough to work with. Tastes so good

They are fantastic, and super easy to make.
Also, I added cinnamon and a pinch of ginger just to spice it up a bit. Delicious.

When I first made these for Christmas with the in-laws, they couldn't believe their tongues (Or eyes- they're very pretty with the drizzle. I used green sugar over the frosting and zigzagged it over the cookie, using a tree-shaped spritz attachment).
These cookies melt on your tongue and taste unbelievably like... well... egg nog. The co-workers request a few of these instead of gifts for the holidays.

These were very good, but not quite as good as my old Almond Spritz recipe. One of the better spritz-type cookies as far as taste goes. Nice for a cookie exchange.

We absolutely loved this recipe. We now say that it will be an additional to our normal Christmas cookie list. The cookies were to die for!

These are one of my favorite new cookies! They're quick and easy to make, though the refrigeration definitely helps with forming the cookies. I use the glaze on my sugar cookies, as well, since it's not as heavy as frosting!

to the person whom the cookies melted all over...your dough wasn't firm enough or your cookie sheet was too warm. the sheet has to be cold for the cookies to form perfectly, otherwise this was a great cookie recipe
