EGGNOG SNICKERDOODLES

These pillowy, festive cookies are great to have in your back pocket when you're in the mood for a quick holiday treat. Rum extract, widely available during the holidays, is the secret to replicating that classic eggnog flavor. An extra egg yolk in the dough and a dusting of nutmeg-sugar yield a cookie that's custard-like on the inside and crisp on the outside. These are even better the second day, and keep very well in an airtight container at room temperature. This season, forgo the eggnog altogether and enjoy these cookies with a bourbon neat.

Time 45m

Yield 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 1/2 cups/445 grams all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup/225 grams unsalted butter (2 sticks), at room temperature
1 3/4 cup/350 grams granulated sugar, plus 1/4 cup/50 grams for rolling
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 large egg plus 2 yolks, at room temperature
1 tablespoon rum extract
2 teaspoons freshly grated nutmeg

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar and baking soda, and set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, 1 3/4 cups sugar and the salt on medium-high until very smooth and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Scrape down the sides of the bowl, return the mixer to medium speed and add the egg and egg yolks, incorporating each before adding the next. Add the rum extract. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and continue to beat for another minute or two.
  • Add the flour mixture and beat on low speed until combined. (You may want to start by "pulsing" the flour, so that it doesn't go everywhere.) Set the dough aside to hydrate for about 10 minutes while you prepare to bake.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees and line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Make the nutmeg-sugar mixture by combining the remaining 1/4 cup/50 grams sugar with the nutmeg in a small bowl.
  • Roll the dough into balls, each one the size of a golf ball or about 45 grams, then roll each dough ball in the nutmeg-sugar. Transfer the balls to the baking sheets, about 2 inches apart, and bake 10 to 13 minutes, rotating pans and switching racks halfway through, until slightly puffed and just set.
  • Let the cookies cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. These cookies are even better the day after they're made, and will keep for 4 days sealed in an airtight container.

Categories     Dessert

Time 2h15m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pouch (17.5 oz) Betty Crocker™ sugar cookie mix
Butter and egg called for on cookie mix pouch for drop cookies
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon rum extract
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 2/3 cups white vanilla baking chips

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375°F.
  • In large bowl, mix cookie mix, softened butter, egg, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg and the rum extract with spoon until soft dough forms. Shape dough into 36 (1 1/4-inch) balls. In small bowl, mix sugar, cinnamon and remaining 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg. Roll balls in sugar-spice mixture. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Discard sugar-spice mixture after rolling balls.
  • Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until edges are set. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 20 minutes.
  • In small microwavable bowl, microwave white vanilla baking chips uncovered on Medium (50% power) 60 seconds. Stir; continue to microwave in 15-second increments until mixture can be stirred smooth.
  • Working with one cookie at a time, dip halfway into melted chips; gently shake off excess. Place on waxed paper. Repeat with remaining cookies. If chips have cooled too much, reheat. Let stand 30 minutes or until set. Store covered in airtight container.

Tips:

  • Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature. This will help them combine more easily and create a smoother batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cookies tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking can make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and prevent them from sticking together.

Conclusion:

These holiday eggnog snickerdoodles are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any holiday party or gathering. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you're looking for a special holiday cookie, give these eggnog snickerdoodles a try. You won't be disappointed!
