Eggnog Spritz

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

Would make this again.
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. five stars

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. four stars

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! five stars

Would make this again.
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! five stars
