Eggnog Cookies

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer cream together the butter, sugar and brown sugar. Add in the egg, vanilla and eggnog. Continue to mix until well combined and a soft, creamy mixture is formed.

Step 3

In a separate mixing bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg until well combined.

Step 4

Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix until a soft dough forms.

Step 5

Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop the cookies onto the baking sheet. With the back of a drinking cup, press the cookies until they are 1/4 inch thick. If the cup sticks to the cookies, grease with a little oil or butter.

Step 6

Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes, until golden brown around the edges. Place on a cooling rack to cool.

Step 7

In a mixing bowl with an electric mixer combine the butter, powdered sugar, Eggnog and vanilla. Mix until soft frosting has formed. Frost the cooled cookies.

Step 8

Mix the nutmeg and cinnamon, sprinkle over the top of the frosted cookies.
