I got this recipe from a business associate, who is also an avid cookie baker. If you like egg nog, you'll love these little cookies!
In a large bowl, beat sugar, 1 cup margarine, 2 tsp vanilla, 2 tsp rum extract and egg until light& fluffy.
Stir in flour& 1 tsp nutmeg; mix well.
Cover dough with plastic wrap- chill at least 30-45 minutes for easier handling.
Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
Divide dough into 6 pieces.
On lightly floured surface, shape each piece of dough into a long rope, 1/2-inch in diameter.
Cut into 3-inch lengths; place on ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake 12-15 minutes or until light golden brown.
Immediately remove from cookie sheets,& cool completely.
To make frosting: in a small bowl, combine all frosting ingredients (except nutmeg), adding enough milk for desired spreading consistency; blend until smooth.
Spread frosting on cookies, and mark with tines of a fork to resemble bark.
Sprinkle each cookie lightly with nutmeg,& allow frosting to set.
Store cookies in a tightly covered container.
**NOTE:These cookies freeze well.
