Eggnog cookies
Servings: 32 cookies
Ingredients for the cookies:
- 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 172 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 3/4 cup butter, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp rum extract
- 172 cup eggnog
Ingredients for the frosting:
- 1/2 cup butter
- 3-5 tbsp eggnog
- 172 tsp rum extract
- 3 cups powdered sugar
Preparation:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Set aside. In a separate mixing bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy with an electric mixer. Mix in the egg yolks, one at a time, until just combined. Scoop tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets, 2 inches apart. Bake for 11-13 minutes. Let cook on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cook completely. For frosting, whip the butter, rum extract, and 3 tbsp eggnog together. Gradually add the powdered sugar. Add additional eggnog until the frosting is desired consistency. Frost the cooled cookies before serving.
