Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Powdered sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened (for baking, not the mix)
- 1 Egg yolk (for baking, not the mix)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for baking, not the mix)
- 0.5 teaspoon Rum or rum extract (optional, for baking)
Instructions
1. To create the cookie mix, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, powdered sugar, salt, and ground nutmeg in a large mixing bowl. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
2. Transfer the dry mix into a jar or airtight container. Label it with instructions for the wet ingredients needed (butter, egg yolk, vanilla, and optional rum) and baking directions.
3. When ready to bake the cookies, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare your cookie press or piping bag with a decorative tip.
4. In a large bowl, beat 1 cup of softened unsalted butter until creamy. Add 1 egg yolk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 0.5 teaspoons of rum (if using). Mix until smooth.
5. Gradually add the dry mix to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
6. Fill the cookie press or piping bag with the dough, then press or pipe the cookies onto ungreased baking sheets in your desired shapes.
7. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake, as the cookies should remain light and buttery.
8. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Optional: Dust the cookies with additional powdered sugar or a sprinkle of nutmeg before serving.
10. Enjoy your homemade Eggnog Spritz Cookies as a festive holiday treat or share them with loved ones!
