Ingredients
The following ingredients have 18 Servings
- ½ cup butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup eggnog
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 3 cups flour
- Frosting
- ½ cup butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons eggnog
- additional nutmeg
Instruction
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In large mixing bowl, cream butter and granulated sugar with a mixer for 1 minute until combined.
- Add in the eggs, eggnog, and vanilla extract. Blend until combined.
- Add in baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and half of the flour and blend until combined.
- Add the other half and blend together until fully combined.
- Take 2 tablespoons of dough (I used a 2 Tbsp cookie scoop) and roll into a ball. Place on lined cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining dough. Using the bottom of a cup (spray with cooking spray so it won’t stick) gently, very gently, press down a little bit on the dough ball so the top is flat.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 10-11 minutes. Remember they will cook slightly more while cooling.
- Let cool on cookie sheet for 5 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
- To make frosting: blend butter until smooth.
- Add in powdered sugar and blend. Add in eggnog, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired thickness is reached.
- Frost cooled cookies and sprinkle with nutmeg. Makes 3 dozen cookies.
