Ingredients

Cookies:
• 1½ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ tsp. ground nutmeg, plus additional for sprinkling
• ½ cup butter, softened
• ½ cup sugar
• 2 large egg yolks


Glaze:
• 1½ Tbsp. dark rum or 1½ tsp. rum extract
• 1 Tbsp. butter, softened
• 1 Tbsp. milk
• 1 tsp. corn syrup
• 1½-2 cups powdered sugar

Directions

1. Whisk flour and ½ teaspoon nutmeg in medium bowl. Beat ½ cup butter and sugar in large bowl at medium speed 3 minutes or until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolks, one at a time, until blended. At low speed, beat in flour mixture. Divide dough in half; roll into two logs. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours or until firm.
2. Preheat oven to 375°F. Slice dough ¼” thick; place on parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Bake 8-10 minutes or until pale brown. Cool completely on wire rack.
3. Meanwhile; beat rum, 1 tablespoon butter, milk and corn syrup in large bowl. Slowly beat in 1½ cups of the powdered sugar, adding additional powdered sugar to desired consistency. Spread glaze over cookies; sprinkle with nutmeg; let stand until set.

Hot Mama Grade: B+

Hot Mama Notes: These cookies were good, moist and tasty, yet not overpowering.  Especially with the icing.  Without the icing, I think they would be a bit on the bland side.  It's important to put the dough in the frig for 2 hours.  And in between slicing and baking, I put the dough in the freezer.
