Tip of the Week

These delicately flavored cookies are tender and delicious.

1 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
1 egg
2-3/4 cups flour
1/2 tsp. nutmeg

Cream butter and sugar together. Add vanilla and egg and beat well. Stir in flour and nutmeg. Chill dough.

Shape dough into 3" logs, 1/2" in diameter. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet for 12-15 minutes until very light golden brown. Cool completely.

3 cups powdered sugar
6 Tbsp. butter, softened
1/2 tsp. vanilla
2-3 Tbsp. cream

Combine all ingredients and beat well for frosting. Frost top and sides of cookies. You may sprinkle them with a tiny bit of nutmeg after they are frosted, if you like.
