Eggnog Cookies

My incredibly tender, melt-in-your-mouth eggnog cookies will be the star of your Christmas cookie tray! NO chilling and just 2 ingredients for the glaze!
Honestly, eggnog isn’t my typical holiday drink of choice (I’m more of a hot chocolate kind of girl). My husband is a fan, though, so when I invariably end up with half a jug of excess eggnog sitting in the house, I need to find something to do with it rather than pour it down the sink. These eggnog cookies are a fun (and cute, if I do say so) way to enjoy leftover eggnog.
The frosting is more like a glaze, similar to the vanilla glaze only made with eggnog instead of milk (groundbreaking, right). It dries pretty firm after a few hours and can be stacked (though I do recommend using wax paper between layers just in case).
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup (66 g) light brown sugar firmly packed
- 1 large egg room temperature preferred
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup (60 ml) eggnog
- 3 ⅓ cups (375 g) cake flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¾ teaspoon table salt
Frosting
- 3 cups (375 g) powdered sugar (if sifting, sift after measuring)
- 6 Tablespoons eggnog
