Eggnog Sticks

---

I tried these cookies for my christmas baking this year and wow-- they are excellent! They have a wonderful texture and great flavor. Be sure to grate lots of fresh nutmeg on top of the icing for optimum flavor. These do spread, so don't worry about making them into sticks." they sort of come out looking like those commercially-produced donut sticks--about that width and length."
