Eggnog Cookies

These eggnog cookies capture the rum and the spices of eggnog in a cookie.

This post is sponsored in conjunction with ChristmasSweetsWeek. I received product samples from sponsor companies to aid in the creation of the #ChristmasSweetsWeek recipes. All opinions are mine alone.

These cookies are loaded with flavors of an eggnog cocktail.

These cookie cutter eggnog cookies are crisp on the edges and soft on the inside. I drizzled them with a powdered sugar glaze, and sprinkled them with Sweets and Treats white nonpareils.

The flavor for these eggnog cookies comes from one of our sponsors, LorAnn's eggnog flavorings.

These cookies were a big hit with my taste testers and they were super easy to make. The dough requires a one hour refrigeration before rolling out and baking. You can also refrigerate the dough overnight if you prefer.

You can make these eggnog cookies with or without the glaze and sprinkles. I'm a big fan of sprinkles, as are my grandkids.

This recipe yields about 60 cookies. I frosted and decorated about half of the cookies and froze the rest for a cookie exchange that I'm attending later this month.

These cookies were a huge hit with my kids and grandkids. The eggnog flavor is lovely, and the decoration is a lot of fun!

Eggnog Cookies Recipe

ingredients

For the Cookies

• 1 cup (8 ounces) unsalted butter
• 2 cups (8 ounces) powdered sugar (I used Dixie Crystals)
• 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon egg nog flavor or 1 teaspoon rum flavoring (I used LorAnn)
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons water
• 3 1/2 cups (14 7/8 ounces) unbleached all purpose flour

Glaze

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon clear vanilla
• Enough water to create a glaze (about 3 tablespoons)
• Nonpareils for sprinkling

instructions

1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the butter, powdered sugar, and corn syrup until fluffy. Add the eggnog flavor, nutmeg, baking powder, and salt and beat. 
2. Add the egg and water and beat to combine. Add the flour and mix on low until incorporated. 
3. Divide the dough into thirds, press into 3/4 inch disks, and wrap with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least an hour. 
4. Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. 
5. On a lightly floured work surface, roll the dough to 1/8 inch thick and cut  with a star cookie cutter. Transfer the cut dough to parchment lined baking sheets. 
6. Bake the cookies, one sheet at a time, for 8 to 10 minutes. Cool the cookies on the pan. 

To Make the Glaze

1. Mix the confectioners sugar with the clear vanilla and water until you have a "drizzly" glaze. Drizzle the cookies with the glaze and garnish with the nonpareils.
