Instructions

1
|
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2
|
In a medium bowl, combine the cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3
|
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar for 2-3 minutes until light & fluffy.
4
|
Beat in the egg, vanilla, and rum extract.
5
|
Add half of the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
6
|
Mix in the eggnog, then the rest of the dry ingredients until just combined.
7
|
Using a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop, place the cookie dough on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Use one finger to pat them down into smooth balls.
8
|
Bake the cookies for about 12 minutes or until the edges are barely golden. Immediately after they come out of the oven, use a large round cookie cutter or glass to scoot the edges and form a perfectly round cookie.
9
|
Allow to cool completely on the baking sheet.
10
|
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter until smooth.
11
|
While mixing on low speed, add the sifted powdered sugar a little at a time.
12
|
Scrape down the bowl, then add the eggnog, extracts, and salt, and continue mixing on low speed until smooth and no air pockets remain.
13
|
Use a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop to portion the frosting onto each cookie.
14
|
Spread the frosting with a spoon, then sprinkle each cookie with nutmeg. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Eggnog Temperature Matters 🥛
    Use room temperature eggnog when mixing into your dough to prevent the butter from seizing and ensure a smooth, even batter with proper texture.
  • Nutmeg Application Technique ✨
    Sprinkle nutmeg on cookies immediately after frosting while the buttercream is still slightly tacky, so it adheres perfectly without sliding off or sinking in.
  • Extract Ratio Balance 🎯
    The recipe calls for equal parts rum and vanilla extract—reduce the rum extract by 25% if you prefer subtle boozy notes, or increase it if you want a more pronounced holiday flavor.
  • Cake Flour Sifting Secret 🍪
    Sift your cake flour with baking powder and soda before mixing to eliminate lumps and ensure your cookies have an exceptionally tender, delicate crumb structure.
  • Buttercream Consistency Control 🧈
    Add powdered sugar gradually while mixing the frosting, and use eggnog (not milk) to thin it—this maintains the holiday flavor while achieving the perfect spreadable consistency for decorating.
