Ingredients

Units Scale

 

  • For the Cookies:
    • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
    • 1 1/2 cups (300g) granulated sugar
    • 1 large egg
    • 1/2 cup (120ml) eggnog
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    • 3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • For the Optional Glaze:
    • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
    • 2–3 tablespoons eggnog
    • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    • 1/4 teaspoon rum extract (optional)

Instructions

 

  1. Prepare the Dough:
    • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
    • Beat in the egg, eggnog, vanilla extract, and ground nutmeg until well combined.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients:
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  3. Shape and Bake:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    • Roll the dough into 1-inch (2.5 cm) balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches (5 cm) apart.
    • Gently flatten each ball with the bottom of a glass or your fingers to ensure even baking.
    • Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden brown.
    • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  4. Optional Glaze:
    • In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, eggnog, ground nutmeg, and rum extract (if using) until smooth.
    • Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies and let it set before serving.

Notes

  • Storage: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • Make Ahead: The dough can be prepared in advance and refrigerated for up to 2 days. Allow it to come to room temperature before baking.
  • Variations: For added flavor, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top of the glazed cookies or incorporate a dash of cinnamon into the dough.
