To make the Cookies
1
|
Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2
|
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, sugar, and brown sugar for 1 minute using an electric handheld mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on high speed.
3
|
Add the egg, vanilla, and rum extract and continue creaming until fluffy. Add the flour and nutmeg and mix at low speed just until fully incorporated.
4
|
Scoop the cookie dough into 1 tablespoon-sized portions and roll well to form smooth, uniform balls. Place on the prepared baking sheet, leaving 2 inches between each cookie for spreading room.
5
|
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until slightly golden on the bottoms. Let cool fully before topping with the icing.
To make the Icing
1
|
In a bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, nutmeg, and rum extract. Add whipping cream gradually, starting with 2 tablespoons and then adding 1-2 more tablespoons or until a smooth, no-too-runny glaze/icing consistency is reached. Spoon on top of the cooled cookies and spread around slightly with the back of a spoon. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Chill Butter for Perfect Texture 🧈Use cold, but slightly softened butter to achieve the ideal cookie texture - firm enough to cream but not too hard to mix smoothly.
- Nutmeg Freshness Matters 🌰Freshly grated whole nutmeg provides a more intense and aromatic flavor compared to pre-ground nutmeg - invest in a small grater or microplane for best results.
- Glaze Consistency Technique 🥄For the perfect eggnog glaze, add powdered sugar gradually and test consistency - it should slowly drip off a spoon but not be too runny or too thick.
- Even Cookie Sizing Pro Tip 📏Use a cookie scoop or weigh each cookie portion to ensure uniform baking and consistent texture across all cookies.
- Rum Extract Intensity Hack 🍾For a more complex flavor, combine both rum extract and a tiny splash of real rum to enhance the eggnog cookie's depth without making them alcoholic.
