Time 35m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup softened butter
1/2 cup eggnog
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 egg yolks
1 tablespoon ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300°.
  • Mix flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg.
  • Mix well with a whisk; set aside for now.
  • Cream the sugar and butter until the mixture forms like a grainy paste.
  • Add in the eggnog, vanilla extract and egg yolks.
  • Beat on medium speed until smooth.
  • Add the flour mixture and beat at low speed until combined, but do not over mix.
  • Drop rounded teaspoonfuls 1 inch apart onto ungreased baking sheets.
  • Lightly sprinkle with nutmeg.
  • Bake 23-25 minutes or until bottoms are light brown.
  • Let cool completely.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh eggs, milk, and butter will give your cookies a richer taste.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at the right temperature. The ideal temperature for baking eggnog cookies is 350°F (175°C).
  • Don't overbake the cookies. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly. Bake the cookies just until they are set and the edges are just beginning to brown.

Conclusion:

Eggnog cookies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for the holiday season. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
