Eggnog Cookie Recipe

Filed Under: CELEBRATE, Christmas, COOK, Cookies, Desserts, Holiday recipes Tagged With: biscuits, cookies, eggnog

I just love eggnog. It’s the rich, creamy taste of it that is just such a sweet decadent little treat now and then during the holiday season. What I like even better than just drinking eggnog, is putting it into my recipes. This eggnog cookie recipe is one I made for the first time a couple years ago and it quickly became a favourite. 



Eggnog Cookie Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup eggnog
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 4 cups flour
  • 1 tsp. nutmeg
  • 2 tsp. baking powder

Instructions: 

  1. Cream together the sugar and the butter.
  2. Add in the eggs and continue to beat until fluffy.
  3. Stir in the eggnog and the vanilla.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix together the dry ingredients.
  5. A cup at a time, mix the flour mixture into the butter mixture.
  6. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for half an hour. 
  7. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 
  8. Working with half of the dough at a time, roll it out to about 1/8 inch thick on a lightly floured surface.
  9. Use cookie cutters to cut your shapes.
  10. Bake for 7-10 minutes, until cookies are a light golden colour.
  11. Remove to a baking rack to cool. 
  12. You can eat them as is (they are scrumptious!) or decorate with icing and sprinkles. 
  13. If you want to ice them, beat 1/4 cup of butter until fluffy. Mix in 3 cups of icing sugar – I find it easiest to add in 1 cup at a time and beat until well incorporated. Blend in 1/3 cup of eggnog until smooth.

    I love eggnog too, but I’m the only one in the family! I do make an eggnog cake that everyone loves at Christmas time, well, I haven’t made it in years, but need to start again!
