These eggnog cookies are pillowy soft and melt in your mouth. With real eggnog in the dough and icing, and sprinkles with warming spices, you'll watch these cookies disappear quickly and wish you made a double batch.
Ingredients
For the Cookies
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup eggnog
- 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ginger
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
For the topping
- ¼ cup granulated sugar, for rolling
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2 Tablespoons eggnog
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Beat in egg yolk, vanilla, and eggnog until fully incorporated.
- Add dry ingredients and mix just until combined.
- Once dry ingredients are fully incorporated, scoop out tablespoon-sized balls, rolling each in granulated sugar.
- Place on baking sheet with 2-inches of space between each cookie.
- Press down with palm of hand, or flat bottomed measuring cup to about ½-inch thick discs.
- Bake in center of oven for 9-11 minutes, until just set on the edges.
- Remove from oven and let cool on pan for 5 minutes, then remove to wire rack.
- While cookies cool, whisk together the powdered sugar and eggnog. Drizzle icing over cooled cookies.
Notes
- Store cookies in airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Swap out the nutmeg, ginger, and cloves for ½ teaspoon allspice.
