Instructions
1
|
Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl.
2
|
In a separate bowl using electric beaters or in a standing mixer, cream the butter and sugar for 3 minutes on medium to high speed until light and fluffy.
3
|
Add the egg and vanilla to the butter mixture and beat until incorporated.
4
|
Turn the speed to low and slowly add the flour mixture alternating with the eggnog until the dough comes together.
5
|
Place the dough onto a piece of plastic wrap, parchment paper or wax paper and flatten into a round shaped disk.
6
|
Wrap the dough disk and chill in the refrigerator until firm, at least thirty minutes to overnight.
7
|
Once chilled, preheat oven to 325 degrees.
8
|
Let dough sit for about 10 minutes or until soft enough to roll out.
9
|
Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll the dough out onto a lightly floured surface until 1/4 inch thick and even.
10
|
Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes (I like to start at one end of the dough placing the cookie cutters close together).
11
|
Using a spatula, transfer the cut-outs onto a cookie sheet (preferably a lined-silpat cookie sheet).
12
|
Bake for 10-12 minutes for small cookies and 12-14 minutes for larger cookies rotating the sheet pan halfway through until edges turn golden.
13
|
Cool cookies on a rack.
For the icing
1
|

|
Use to decorate the cookies.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Chill Dough Before Baking 🧊Refrigerate your eggnog dough for at least 2 hours before rolling and cutting to prevent spreading and achieve crisp, well-defined cookie edges with better texture.
- Use Quality Eggnog for Flavor 🥛Choose full-fat, high-quality eggnog (not the ultra-pasteurized variety) and warm it slightly before mixing to fully incorporate the nutmeg and spice notes into your dough.
- Separate Egg Whites for Fluffiness 🥚Whip egg whites to soft peaks before folding into your wet ingredients to create an exceptionally light and airy cookie texture that captures the fluffy quality described in the recipe.
- Perfect Your Icing Consistency 🎨Mix powdered sugar with just enough milk to achieve a thick but pipeable consistency—too thick and it cracks, too thin and it runs off the cookies and pooling occurs.
- Toast Your Sprinkles Application 🌟Add sprinkles immediately after icing while it's still wet so they adhere properly, then let cookies set on a wire rack for 30 minutes before serving or storing.
