Our eggnog snickerdoodles are rolled in a nutmeg mixture and topped with an eggnog glaze – a favorite holiday drink turned cookie!
Ingredients
Dough
½ cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon rum extract
½ cup Royal Crest Dairy eggnog
2¾ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon nutmeg
Sugar Mixture for Rolling
½ cup sugar
2 tablespoons cinnamon
½ tsp nutmeg
Icing
¾ cup powdered sugar
1-2 tablespoons Royal Crest Dairy eggnog
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment or spray with cooking spray.
In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, beat butter and 1 cup sugar, until light and fluffy. Add the egg, rum extract, and eggnog, and mix to combine. Add the flour, salt, baking soda, and nutmeg, and mix until a soft dough forms.
In a small bowl, whisk the ½ cup sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Scoop the dough into one-inch balls and roll in the sugar mixture. Place on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly browned on the bottom. Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then move to a cooling rack.
While the cookies are cooling, whisk the powdered sugar and enough eggnog to make an icing that is easy to drizzle but not too runny. Pipe snowflakes onto the cooled cookies, or drizzle with the icing.
