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.

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.

I have made spritz cookies for over 25 years and what I have noticed is that the dough consistency is different every time depending on the temp/humidity of your home. Also you can't use a non stick pan or parchment paper. they need to stick a little to the pan or the press will not let them go. You HAVE to use real butter never margarine, fresh graded nutmeg, quality vanilla, fresh cinnamon, rum, fresh flour, ALL these things make a huge difference in the final product. There IS a difference in taste of fresh, properly stored butter and flour too. But if you have never tasted the difference, then you will not be able to tell. For example: A close family relative and I use the exact same recipe for spritz cookies each year. Hers, I can barley eat they taste so bad. We use totally different quality and brands of products. 4 stars
