EGG NOG COOKIES

1¼ cup sugar

¾ cup butter, softened

½ cup eggnog

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 egg yolks

1 tsp nutmeg

2¼ cup flour

1 tsp baking soda

½ tsp cinnamon

Glaze:

1½ cup powdered sugar

3-4 TBL eggnog

additional cinnamon, for garnish

1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees (this is not a typo – 300 is the correct temp for these cookies)

2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the sugar and butter together with an electric mixer until fluffy.

3. Add in the eggnog, vanilla, and egg yolks. Beat with mixer until smooth.

4. Then add the nutmeg, flour, baking soda, and cinnamon. Mix in just until combined. Do not over mix.

5. Spoon onto ungreased cookie sheet. You want to make these cookies on the smaller size because the dough does spread. I made mine around 1½ Tbsp. (only 8 per batch)

6. Bake for 15-18 minutes until edges just start to brown.

7. Remove from cookie sheet and allow to cool.

8. Mix together the powdered sugar and eggnog to create the glaze.

9. Drizzle glaze over cooled cookies and sprinkle with additional cinnamon if desired. Makes 3 dozen cookies.I used a medium cookie scoop. Baked 15 minutes. Made 35 cookies
