Tips:
- For the best flavor, use high-quality eggnog. Homemade eggnog is ideal, but store-bought eggnog will also work.
- Be sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling and baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- If you don't have a rolling pin, you can use a wine bottle or even a glass to roll out the dough.
- Don't overbake the cookies. They should be baked until they are just set, but not browned.
- For the buttercream frosting, be sure to use softened butter. This will make it easier to cream together with the other ingredients.
- If you want a thicker frosting, add more powdered sugar. If you want a thinner frosting, add more eggnog or milk.
- Decorate the cookies with sprinkles, chopped nuts, or other holiday decorations before the frosting sets.
Conclusion:
These eggnog chai cookies with eggnog buttercream frosting are the perfect holiday treat. They are soft and chewy, with a delicious eggnog and chai flavor. The frosting is rich and creamy, and it perfectly complements the cookies. These cookies are sure to be a hit at your next holiday party.
