I created this cookie recipe because my sons liked eggnog so much. After frosting the cookies, you can add to their festive flair by sprinkling them with colored sugar. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1 cup sugar |
2 eggs |
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon eggnog |
2-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
icing: |
2 cups confectioners' sugar |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, optional |
4 to 5 tablespoons eggnog |
liquid or paste food coloring, optional |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs. Stir in eggnog. Combine the flour, salt, baking soda and nutmeg; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until easy to handle.
2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut with floured 2-1/2-in. cookie cutters. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets.
3. Bake at 375° for 8-10 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Remove to wire racks to cool.
4. In a small bowl, beat the confectioners' sugar, nutmeg if desired and enough eggnog to achieve icing consistency. Add food coloring if desired. Spread over cooled cookies; let stand until set. Yield: about 4 dozen.
