Ingredients
- FROSTING:
- 3/4 cup softened butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2/3 cup prepared eggnog (store-bought)
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1/8 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 3/4 tsp. nutmeg
- 3 cups flour
- 6 T. prepared eggnog
- 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp. nutmeg
Preparation
Step 1
1.Cream butter and sugars. Add eggs, eggnog, and vanilla, and mix well.
2.Add salt, soda, and nutmeg and mix well. Add flour and mix until combined. It should form a very soft dough.
3.Drop spoonfuls onto a lined baking sheet. (*see notes) Bake at 350F for 12-15 minutes, until lightly brown. Let cool before frosting.
4.For frosting, combine all ingredients, mixing until smooth. Frost cooled cookies, and store between layers of wax paper or parchment paper.
Notes:
The kind of eggnog you purchase at the store is much different from the homemade variety. For this recipe, be sure you are using store-bought prepared eggnog in both the cookie and the frosting.
These cookies are cakey and the dough is quite soft. I recommend lining your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat, to avoid sticking.
