How to Make Eggnog Logs

  1. In a large bowl, cream together the 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup softened margarine, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 2 teaspoons rum extract, and 1 large egg until light and fluffy.
  2. Gradually add 3 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  3. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Cover the dough tightly with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30-45 minutes to firm up for easier handling.
  5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  6. Divide the chilled dough into 6 equal pieces.
  7. On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece of dough into a long rope, about ½-inch in diameter.
  8. Cut each rope into 3-inch lengths.
  9. Place the logs onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  10. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  11. Immediately remove the cookies from the baking sheets and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
  12. While cookies cool, prepare your frosting according to your chosen recipe (see ingredients for suggestions).
  13. Once the cookies are completely cool, frost each log generously.
  14. Use a fork to create a bark-like texture by dragging the tines across the frosting.
  15. Sprinkle each frosted cookie lightly with additional ground nutmeg.
  16. Let the frosting set completely before storing the cookies in an airtight container. Enjoy!
