Eggnog Cookies
Soft, sweet Eggnog Cookies made with real eggnog, warm nutmeg, and sparkly sugar-coated edges. These festive Christmas cookies are easy, cozy, and perfect for holiday baking.
Equipment
- Baking Sheets (for baking the cookies)
- Parchment Paper (a nonstick option)
- Electric Hand Mixer (for mixing the cookie dough)
- Whisk (to combine the dry ingredients)
- 1½ Tablespoon Cookie Scoop (for scooping out even amounts of cookie dough)
- Cooling Rack (to cool the baked cookies)
Ingredients
COOKIE DOUGH:
- 1½ cups granulated white sugar
- ¾ cup (1½ sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 2 large egg yolks
- ¼ cup eggnog
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2½ cups all purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
FOR DIPPING:
- ½ cup granulated white sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silpat mats.
- In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the sugar, butter, egg yolks, eggnog and vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder and nutmeg. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
- Use a 1½-tablespoon scoop to measure out the cookie dough. Roll the dough balls in the rolling sugar to coat. Place the sugared dough balls on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake 14 to 15 minutes, until the cookies are set along the edges and just a touch still tender in the center. Cool the cookies for 10 minutes on the baking sheet and them remove to a rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Store these cookies for up to 3 days in a well-sealed container at room temperature. Freeze in a well-sealed container or freezer zip bag for up to 3 months.
