Eggnog Thumbprint Cookies

Ingredients:

 3/4 cup butter, softened

1/2 cup white sugar

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1 egg 

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

2 cups of all-purpose flour 

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 cup butter

1 cup confectioner's sugar

1 tablespoon rum

1 pinch ground nutmeg

Directions:

 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. In a medium bowl, cream together 3/4 cup butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine flour and salt; stir into the creamed mixture by hand to form a soft dough. Roll dough into 1 inch balls, and place balls 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Make an indentation in the center of each cookie using your finger. 

3. Bake for 12 minutes. Cool completely.

4. In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup butter, confectioner's sugar, and rum. Spoon rounded teaspoonfuls of filling onto cookies. Sprinkle with nutmeg. Let stand until set before storing in an airtight container.
