This one’s for the eggnog lovers: quick-and-easy sugar cookies flavored with your favorite wintertime beverage. We’ve combined this with a recipe for eggnog frosting too - which is technically optional, but we say go ahead and treat yourself.
Cookies
Ingredients
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup salted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup eggnog
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a small mixing bowl, mix flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg; set aside. In a large mixing bowl, mix butter and sugar until creamy, then add egg, vanilla and eggnog; mix well. When liquid mixture is combined, add the flour mixture and stir until well blended.
Roll dough to 1/8-inch thickness on lightly floured surface. Cut with cookie cutter. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Or roll dough into balls and slightly press on to an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake approximately 8-12 minutes (depending on thickness) or until golden brown on the edges.
Frosting
Ingredients
4 oz cream cheese, softened
4 oz salted butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup eggnog
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Preparation
Using an electric mixer or whisk, whip softened cream cheese and butter together. Whip in vanilla extract. Add half of the eggnog and powdered sugar and mix until blended. Slowly add the remaining eggnog and powdered sugar and mix until combined.
