Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • ½ cup eggnog
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for frosting)
  • 2 tbsp milk (for frosting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy. Add eggnog and vanilla extract; mix until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Gradually mix this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined—avoid overmixing.
  4. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about two inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden while centers remain soft.
  5. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks.
  6. For frosting, beat together powdered sugar and milk until smooth; adjust milk for desired consistency. Once cookies are completely cooled, frost generously and add sprinkles if desired.

Nutrition

Keywords: Use fresh ground nutmeg for enhanced flavor. Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes to prevent spreading during baking. Consider adding white chocolate chips or nuts for added texture. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
