Ingredients

The following ingredients have 14 Servings
  • 1/2 cup butter, (softened)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 11 tablespoons eggnog
  • 3 teaspoons whiskey
  • 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup confectioner's sugar

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, use a handheld mixer to beat together the butter, sugar, and eggs until light and fluffy. Beat for 3-5 minutes.
  • Add 8 tablespoons of eggnog and 2 teaspoons of the whiskey. Beat until just incorporated.
  • In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and beat in until just combined.
  • Transfer dough to prepared baking sheet. Form into a long log that is 5" wide and 15" long.
  • Bake for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and place baking sheet onto a wire cooling rack. Let sit for 5 minutes.
  • Carefully transfer cooled log to a cutting board. Cutting across the log, cut into 3/4 inch slices.
  • Place slices standing up on the baking sheet. (Cut sides should both be exposed.) Bake for 20 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and transfer to wire cooling rack to cool completely.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the confectioner's sugar, 1 teaspoon of whiskey, and 3 tablespoons of eggnog until smooth.
  • Use the whisk to drizzle the glaze over the cooled biscotti. Garnish with a scant sprinkle of freshly ground nutmeg.
