Eggnog Cookies

Spread the love

‘Tis the season for all things eggnog! While I adore baking with it, I’m not one to grab a glass of it to drink cold. This particular eggnog cookie is one that our family looks forward to all year. Last month’s Double Chocolate Eggnog Bread has quickly become a family favorite too.

As the year is winding down and we’re up to our knees in the holiday hustle and bustle, it’s fun to look towards the traditions that come in the last couple weeks of December. This year we’re looking forward not traveling over the holidays and enjoying Christmas Day in our new house. {hallelujah!} We’ll be hosting dinner on Christmas Eve with part of my husband’s family. One thing that remains the same regardless of where we are on Christmas is the need for nog 😉 My husband loves to drink it and I love using it to make breakfast and dessert.

International Delight is ready for the holidays too, with their seasonal selection of flavored creamers and nog. You can choose a new variety every time you go grocery shopping! Happy holidays!

Serves: 3 dozen

Ingredients

2¼ cups FLOUR
1 teaspoon BAKING POWDER
1 teaspoon NUTMEG
½ teaspoon CINNAMON
1¼ cups GRANULATED SUGAR
¾ cup BUTTER, room temperature
½ cup EGGNOG
1 teaspoon VANILLA EXTRACT
2 EGG YOLKS
1½ cups POWDERED SUGAR
3-4 Tablespoons EGGNOG

Instructions

Preheat oven to 300°.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, nutmeg and cinnamon.
In a large bowl, beat together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggnog, vanilla and egg yolks. Beat at medium speed until smooth.
Add flour mixture and beat at low speed until just combined. Do not over mix.
Place a 1 Tablespoon-sized mound of dough on cookie sheets, give them some room to spread. Sprinkle lightly with nutmeg.
Bake 15 to 18 minutes or until the edges just start to become golden. Remove to a wire rack to cool.
Mix together powdered sugar and eggnog to make glaze. You may need more eggnog to make it thin enough to drizzle or spread. Sprinkle with cinnamon after glazing.
