directions

  • Preheat over to 350°F.
  • Beat sugar, butter, vanilla and brandy extracts, and egg until light& fluffy.
  • Add flour and nutmeg. Stir until well combined.
  • Roll dough into 1 inch balls and place on a very lightly greased cookie sheet. Slightly flatten the balls and use the end of a wooden spoon to create "thumbprints" in the tops of the balls.
  • Bake 12-15 minutes until firm but not browned.
  • Remove from oven and using the end of the wooden spoon, gently tap the "thumbprint" if the have puffed up at all (to create more room for icing!).
  • Cool completely on wire racks.
  • For the frosting, combine ingredients and beat on high with an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
  • Using a star-tipped icing bag, pipe icing into "thumbprints".
  • Sprinkle generously with additional nutmeg.
  • Store in the fridge for up to 5 weeks (can also be frozen).

My secret indulgence? Grocery Shopping. I can literally spend hours roaming up and down the aisles of a Supermarket. Sound crazy? Not if you're a self described "Foodie" like me. I am fortunate enough to live in the city of Vancouver, British Columbia. The food community here is very rich in diversity, which has allowed me to sample tasty treats from all over the planet right here at home. Aside from the Supermarket, there are tons of smaller Ethnic Grocery Stores, Butcher shops and Bakeries here in the city. Vancouver is also home to the Granville Island Public Market - a food lovers haven! Imagine over 100 fresh produce, local seafood, speciatly meat and gourmet shops all in the same building... no wonder I love cooking so much! <a href="http://www.stickergiant.com/cooking-with-wine_y8565.html"> <img src="http://www.stickergiant.com/Merchant2/imgs/250/y8565.gif" width="300"height="250"border="0" alt="Cooking With Wine"></a>
