Nutmeg Logs 1 cup soft butter (two sticks) 2 tsp vanilla 2 tsp rum flavoring 3/4 cup sugar 1 egg 3 cup sifted flour 1 tsp nutmeg 1/4 tsp salt 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 at 350F for 12-15 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack. When cooled, frost with nutmeg frosting. Make grooves in the frosting with a fork, and sprinkle powdered nutmeg on the logs while the frosting is still moist.
