How To Make nutmeg cookie pretzels
-
Step 1Cream butter, sugar, nutmeg and salt until light and fluffy. Beat in egg, egg yolk, rum extract and vanilla until well blended. Gradually add flour to butter mixture; blend thoroughly.

Step 2Cover dough and refrigerate at least 1 hour (or overnight).
-
Step 3Preheat oven to 350° F.

Step 4Scoop out 1-inch sized balls of dough. Roll each piece with hands into 6 to 8-inch long, pencil shaped strip. Twist into pretzel shape by crossing one side of the strip to the middle forming a loop and then crossing the other side over the first loop forming a second loop. Place about 1-inch apart on a lightly buttered baking sheet. Brush the tops of the pretzels with the egg white then sprinkle with coarse sugar.
