Glazed Eggnog Spritz Cookies

Johnsdeere's Note:

These cookies are the perfect thing to usher in the holidays, especially if you are a fan of the flavors of rum, nutmeg and vanilla. These came from a Pilsbury magazine from several years back. Though these are a little labor intensive due ot the cookie press and glaze, the compliments you will receive will make it worthwhile in the end.
