Description
Deliciously soft and festive eggnog cookies perfect for the holiday season.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/3 cup Butter (Unsalted, Room temperature)
- 2 Eggs (Large)
- 1/4 cup Eggnog
- 1 box Cake mix (Yellow or white, Must be a 15 oz cake box)
- 1/2 tsp Nutmeg powder
- 1/4 tsp Baking powder
- 1 cup Granulated sugar (For rolling cookie dough balls)
- 2 tbsp Eggnog
- 1–2 cups Powdered sugar (Adjust, based on the consistency you want)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, add butter, eggs, eggnog and mix until smooth.
- Add cake mix, nutmeg, baking powder and mix until just combined.
- Chill dough for 1 hour so that it’s easier to handle.
- Scoop out small portions of the dough and make small balls. Flatten them VERY slightly if you don’t want them to bake too round and tall.
- Roll them in a bowl of sugar and place them on a cookie tray, lined with parchment paper.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for about 10-12 minutes or until edges are firm and golden brown.
- Optional: While the cookies are baking, prepare the glaze by combining together eggnog and powdered sugar until you have a thick drizzling consistency.
- When the cookies cool down completely, drizzle some eggnog glaze on them if you like and enjoy.
Notes
- For a thicker glaze, increase the amount of powdered sugar in the glaze mixture.
- These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
