Yield: 50 servings

1 1/4 c Sugar
1 c Butter-flavor crisco
1 Eggs
1/4 c Light corn syrup
1 ts Vanilla
1 ts Rum extract
3 c Flour
1 1/2 ts Nutmeg

In large bowl with electric mixer at medium speed, beat sugar and

until well blended and fluffy. In medium bowl, combine flour, nutmeg,
baking soda and salt. With mixer at low speed, gradually add flour mixture

wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate several hours or overnight.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Divide dough into 10 pieces; roll each
piece into a 15-inch rope. Cut each rope into five 3" logs. Place 2 inches
apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 7 to 9 minutes until just lightly
browned. Cool 2 minutes on cookie sheet, remove to rack and cool

Meanwhile, prepare icing: In small bowl combine powdered sugar and 3 T.
water; stir until smooth. Dip both ends of each cookie log into icing then
roll in chopped pecans.
