Directions:
Preheat oven to 350º.
Cream together the butter and sugar. Add egg, vanilla and rum; mix well. Sift together the flour, nutmeg and salt. Add flour mixture to the creamed ingredients and mix well. Shape dough into long logs, about 3/4" thick. Cut into short lengths of about 3". Bake for 10 minutes, just until cookies start to turn slightly brown around the bottom edges. Don't overbake. Let them cool.

For frosting: Mix together in a mixer or with a hand mixer the butter, vanilla, rum, powdered sugar and cream. Frost the cooled cookies. Then, run the tines of a fork gently through the frosting to make striations, like on a log. Dust with nutmeg.
