  • Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (2 reviews)

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 cup butter
  • 2 tablespoons margarine
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons butter (softened)
  • 3 tablespoons margarine (softened)
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven: Heat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

  2. Mix Cookie Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar, butter, margarine, vanilla extract, and egg. Beat on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy.

  3. Add Flour and Nutmeg: Gradually add the flour and ground nutmeg to the mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

  4. Divide Dough: Divide the dough into 6 equal parts.

  5. Shape Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll each part of the dough by hand into a long rope about 1/2 inch in diameter.

  6. Cut and Arrange: Cut the dough ropes into 3-inch lengths. Place the cut pieces onto ungreased cookie sheets, leaving some space between them.

  7. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are lightly browned on the bottom.

  8. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool completely before frosting.

  9. Prepare Frosting: In a separate bowl, combine powdered sugar, softened butter, softened margarine, milk, and vanilla extract. Beat the ingredients until they reach a spreading consistency.

  10. Frost Cookies: Frost the cooled cookie logs with the prepared frosting.

  11. Create Bark Texture: Using a fork, gently run the tines through the frosting to create a bark-like texture on the cookies.

  12. Finishing Touch: Dust the frosted cookies lightly with ground nutmeg for an extra burst of flavor and visual appeal.
