Spiced Eggnog Rum Cookies image

One year, when I had a lot of eggnog on hand, I created a new holiday cookie recipe. The flavor is subtle, but somehow it transforms regular sugar cookies into something special for the holidays. -Mark Banick, Turner, Oregon

Time 35m

Yield 4 dozen.

Number Of Ingredients 14

3/4 cup butter, softened
1-1/4 cups sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
1 cup eggnog, divided
1-3/4 teaspoons rum extract, divided
3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
3 cups confectioners' sugar
Colored sugar or sprinkles

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in egg, 1/3 cup eggnog and 1 teaspoon extract. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, ginger and allspice; gradually beat into creamed mixture., Divide dough in half and shape each portion into a disk; cover and refrigerate until firm enough to roll, about 30 minutes., Preheat oven to 375°. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion of dough to 1/4-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 3-1/4-in. star-shaped cookie cutter. Place stars 1 in. apart on parchment-lined baking sheets., Bake until edges begin to brown, 8-10 minutes. Cool on pans 1 minute. Remove to wire racks to cool completely. For glaze, mix confectioners' sugar, remaining 3/4 teaspoon extract and enough remaining eggnog to achieve a drizzling consistency; drizzle over cookies. Decorate as desired.

These cookies were a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try adding some more butter next time.

I've tried many eggnog cookie recipes, but this one is by far the best. The cookies are soft and fluffy, and the rum flavor is just right. I will definitely be making these again.
