EGGNOG MELTAWAY COOKIES



Eggnog Meltaway Cookies image

The secret to these cookies' melt-in-your-mouth texture is the confectioners' sugar, which easily comes together with almonds in a food processor. The flavors of rum, bourbon and nutmeg make the little snowball lookalikes taste just like your favorite holiday drink.

Time 2h55m

Yield 4 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup blanched almonds (skinless)
2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 tablespoon bourbon
2 teaspoons rum extract
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1 tablespoon freshly grated nutmeg, plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
  • Put the almonds and 1/2 cup of the confectioners' sugar in the bowl of a food processor and process until very finely ground, about 2 minutes. Add the butter and process until smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Scrape the dough off the inside of the bowl if needed. Add the bourbon and rum and vanilla extracts and pulse until smooth. Add the flour and salt and pulse until the dough forms a ball.
  • Roll mounded teaspoons of the dough into balls about 1 inch wide and place on the prepared baking sheets about 1 inch apart. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, position oven racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
  • Bake, rotating the baking sheets from top to bottom and front to back halfway through, until the cookies are firm when gently pressed, completely dry and just beginning to crack at the top, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool the cookies on the sheets for 5 minutes; they will firm as they cool.
  • Meanwhile, put the nutmeg and remaining 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar in a pie plate or wide baking dish and mix well. Toss the warm cookies very gently in the sugar mixture until evenly coated; the cookies need to be warm for the first coating of sugar to stick. Cool the cookies on a wire rack completely, about 30 minutes, then toss again in the sugar mixture so they are very white. Sprinkle with additional grated nutmeg.
  • Store the cookies in a little bit of extra confectioners' sugar in an airtight container for up to a week.

EGGNOG KRINGLA COOKIES



Eggnog Kringla Cookies image

Cake-like cookies with hints of eggnog and nutmeg. I've been making these every year for Christmas since I was 12, and every year at least a few people ask for the recipe -- and continue to request them every Christmas. I've been told by lots of people that they don't want me to buy them a gift. They just want me to make these cookies for them. I love bringing these to cookie exchanges and/or giving them as gifts. I know the original recipe came out of a magazine, but I don't remember which one.

Time 51m

Yield 60 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon nutmeg
3/4 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 egg
1 1/4 cups eggnog
sifted powdered sugar, for decorating
nutmeg, for decorating

Steps:

  • In a bowl combine flour, baking powder and soda, and nutmeg. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl beat butter and sugar till fluffy. Add egg and beat well.
  • To the butter/sugar/egg mixture, stir in half of egg nog. Then stir in half of flour mixture. Stir in remaining eggnog and then flour mixture. It will be very stiff.
  • Cover and chill at least 2 hours.
  • To make them quickly, drop them by small spoonfuls on a baking sheet. To make them in the traditional manner: Working with 1/3 of dough at time (keep the rest of the dough chilled), separate dough into 1-inch balls and roll between floured hands into a pencil-like shape, about as long as your hand. On a baking sheet loop one end over the other to form an oval with two ends overlapping (to look like the Christian fish).
  • Bake at 350 for 8-12 minutes before edges brown. They won't look done, but they are.
  • Sprinkle with nutmeg and powdered sugar.

Categories     Cookies

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 c salted butter, softened
1 c granulated sugar
2 large egg yolks
1/2 c store bought eggnog, plain is best
2 1/2 c all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground nutmeg

1/3 c colorful decorating sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect eggnog flavor, use a high-quality eggnog. Homemade eggnog is ideal, but a store-bought brand that you enjoy will also work well.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will result in tough cookies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will result in dry, crumbly cookies.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before decorating. This will help the sprinkles stay in place.
