BOOZY EGGNOG SUGAR COOKIE SHAKES



Boozy Eggnog Sugar Cookie Shakes image

According to my sweet Gram, any and all desserts during the month of December could not be consumed without a glass of eggnog. Occasionally, I'd dip one of her perfect sugar cookies in the nog. Now here I am, many years later, continuing Gram's tradition of enjoying my holiday treats with a glass of eggnog. What's even better: making a boozy holiday dessert cocktail with it. Take your favorite eggnog, blend with some sugar cookies and bourbon. I think my Gram would be awfully proud.

Time 5m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups vanilla ice cream
1 1/2 cups eggnog
1/3 cup bourbon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
6 Sugar Cookies, recipe follows
Whipped cream, for topping
Sprinkles, for topping
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup softened butter
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 to 4 tablespoons buttermilk
Sprinkles or colored sugar, for decorating

Steps:

  • Place the ice cream, eggnog, bourbon, nutmeg and 4 Sugar Cookies in a blender and blend until creamy and thick. Pour into 2 tall glasses and top with whipped cream and sprinkles-and an extra cookie on each for garnish!
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Gradually blend in dry ingredients. Add enough of the buttermilk to moisten the dough and make it soft, not wet.
  • Roll rounded teaspoons of dough into balls and place on a ungreased cookie sheet. With a brush or fingers, moisten the top of each cookie with the remaining buttermilk and slightly flatten the top of each cookie. Sprinkle with raw sugar or colored sprinkles.
  • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until slightly golden. Let stand for 2 minutes before removing to cool on a rack.

EGGNOG SMOOTHIE



Eggnog Smoothie image

I LOVE THIS. Okay, I thought this up a few nights ago when I wanted a banana smoothie but didn't have any milk in the fridge. I used regular (not low fat) egg nog from the store since it's what I had, but I'm sure the light kind would be just as good. I know fruit smoothies are usually a little healthier than this, but I think its perfect for brunch during the holidays! (Tip: Peel and break the bananas up before freezing them) Also, the store bought variety of egg nog keeps you from having to spice it yourself.

Tips:

  • For a thicker shake, use more ice cream and less milk.
  • To make a vegan shake, use almond milk or coconut milk instead of cow's milk, and use a vegan ice cream.
  • If you don't have eggnog, you can use a mixture of milk and vanilla extract.
  • For a more festive shake, garnish with whipped cream, nutmeg, or cinnamon.
  • Serve the shakes immediately after making them, or they will start to melt.
