Cookies:
1 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 egg
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Green Icing:
13 drops green food color
2-3 teaspoons milk
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla and mix well. Combine remaining cookie ingredients and slowly add to butter mixture.
