Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons Eggnog
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Eggnog (for glaze)
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg yolk, eggnog, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground nutmeg, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a cookie press fitted with your desired design plate. Press the cookies onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges just start to turn light golden. Avoid overbaking to keep them tender.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and eggnog in a small bowl until smooth and spreadable.
Drizzle or spoon the glaze over the cooled cookies and sprinkle with a pinch of ground nutmeg for garnish.
Let the glaze set completely before serving or storing the cookies in an airtight container for up to one week.
