Description
Soft and chewy sugar cookies flavored with eggnog and topped with a simple eggnog glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup eggnog
- 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- For the Glaze:
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup eggnog
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and eggnog.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Cover the dough and chill for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Roll the chilled dough into 1-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, eggnog, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Dip the cooled cookies into the glaze or drizzle it over them. Let the glaze set before serving.
Notes
- You can add a pinch of nutmeg to the cookie dough for extra spice.
- For a thicker glaze, use less eggnog. For a thinner glaze, add a little more eggnog.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
