One bite of these delicious cookies and they became my favorite. After I took the first bite, I instantly wanted to not share them and eat them all myself. But then I realized I wanted everyone to experience these amazing cookies. My hubby for example, hates eggnog. I had him take one bite and he loved them. My kids, neighbors, family, everyone loved these cookies! The eggnog is very subtle in these and the flavor is wonderfully balanced with the cinnamon and nutmeg. The cookie was so soft and the glaze on top was heavenly! My thighs will be thankful that I gave some of these away, but geez it was a hard thing to do! These are the perfect holiday cookie!

Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups white sugar
3/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup eggnog
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 egg yolks
1 teaspoon nutmeg
2 1/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Eggnog Glaze:
1 ½ cup powdered sugar
3 tablespoons eggnog
1. Preheat your oven to 300 degrees.
2. Combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg. Set aside.
3. Cream sugar and butter together in mixing bowl.
4. Add eggnog, vanilla, and egg yolks. Beat at medium speed with a mixer until smooth.
5. Add the flour mixture and beat at low speed until combined. Do not over-mix.
6. Spoon onto ungreased cookie sheet or parchment paper and make the dough balls rather small because they will spread in the oven. I always test about 3 cookies in the oven first before making an entire batch. Sprinkle the cookies with nutmeg.
7. Bake 15-18 minutes, mine took 17, until the edges are lightly brown.
8. While the cookies are in the oven make the glaze by combining the powdered sugar with 3 T eggnog.
9. Drizzle the glaze over your cookies and devour!

OK Alyssa, these are definitely going to be the cookies I make for a cookie exchange party I have next weekend. They look soo good! Could you please tell me how many cookies this makes? Thanks soo much!

Oh my gosh Catie I can't even tell you how amazing they are! They will be such a hit! It is hard to know how much I made because me and my boys were eating them as they were coming out of the oven.... hehe but they at least made a couple dozen! :) Let me know how you like them!! :)
DeleteThanks Alyssa. I think I might make a recipe and a half. I only need to have 40 cookies to exchange and a few for sampling. I don't want too many extra ones, I'd end up eating them all myself! ;) For sure I'll let you know how they turn out. I'll most likely do a post about them. =)
DeleteHave a great week!
Can't wait to try these! Hosting a holiday party in a couple of weeks, and making all the desserts...for sure these are on my list! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteUh... YUM! I love eggnog. I seriously might have to make these today. They look INCREDIBLE!

Have you ever made these and then froze them? I'm trying to get a head start on my holiday baking and wasn't sure if these would be suitable to make now and freeze for later....if so, would you wait to ice them or do that part now?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
These look so good!! I've never tried eggnog (it's not huge over here in Australia), but I think I'll have to change that this year because I'm definitely making some of these :)
