NUTMEG STICKS
Hello new friends! This is
Trisha from Sweetology
I am so excited to be here contributing
for Amy’s 25 days of COOKIES.
I have a SPECIAL family recipe to share today:
NUTMEG STICKS
Every Christmas since I met my husband and we had
our sweet daughter, Sophia, we always get
together with his Mom, Dad and brother for
a day of Christmas Cookie Baking!
 |
| My Sophia with Grandma Lucy and Uncle Tim on Cookie Baking Day! |
We always have a great time.
Every year we make the same 3 cookie recipes:
Two Story Cookies
Classic Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies
and…NUTMEG STICKS!!
These are my all time favorite, I just
love the flavor and the frosting is so delish.
I hope you make these and perhaps enjoy
them with a cup of coffee or tea.
Here is the recipe:
Ingredients for Cookies
1 cup butter
2 tsp vanilla
2 tsp rum flavoring
3/4 cup sugar
3 cups flour
1 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp salt

This is the first time I’ve seen nutmeg sticks. They look wonderful and definitely a perfect companion for a lovely cup of tea!
These look lovely! I might have to make just one more Christmas cookie recipe this year :)
BTW, fun to see a fellow Minnesotan food blogger’s site!
