Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large Egg
- 0.75 cup Eggnog
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy using a hand or stand mixer. Add the egg and beat until smooth.
Pour in the eggnog and vanilla extract and mix until the wet ingredients are fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing.
Take about a tablespoon of dough and roll it into a 6-inch rope. Fold the rope into a pretzel or figure-8 shape and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden. Do not overbake to maintain softness.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the pan for 2–3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the Eggnog Kringla Cookies as they are or dust them lightly with powdered sugar for a festive touch. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
