Step-by-Step Instructions
- Whisk together flour and nutmeg in a medium bowl. Cream together butter and sugar in a stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add vanilla and rum extracts along with the egg, mixing until combined. Gradually add the dry mixture, stirring until a smooth dough forms.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, divide into four portions. Roll each into a log about 1/2 inch in diameter. Cut each log into 2-inch pieces and place on an ungreased baking sheet.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake cookies for 12-15 minutes until lightly golden around the edges. Allow cooling on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Prepare the icing by whisking together powdered sugar, milk, vanilla, and rum extracts until smooth. Adjust thickness if necessary.
- Frost cooled cookies with icing and add a sprinkle of nutmeg or festive sprinkles. Allow icing to set before serving.

Notes
For best results, ensure cookies are completely cooled before frosting to prevent melting. Adjust dough consistency with extra flour if too sticky.
