Indulge in the festive spirit with these delightful Eggnog Cookies with Icing! Soft, buttery, and infused with the rich flavors of eggnog and nutmeg, these treats are perfect for holiday gatherings or a cozy afternoon snack with a cup of tea.

Ingredients:​

For the Cookies:
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
1 cup eggnog
5-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

For the Icing:
1/4 cup butter, softened
3 cups confectioners' sugar
1/3 cup eggnog

Method:​

1. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 5-7 minutes. Gradually mix in the eggnog. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and nutmeg. Slowly add this mixture to the creamed butter and sugar, mixing well until fully combined.
2. Shape and Chill: Divide the dough into four portions and shape each into a 10-inch roll. Wrap each roll in waxed paper and refrigerate overnight.
3. Bake the Cookies: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Unwrap the dough and slice it into 1/4-inch rounds. Place the slices 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until set. Remove from the oven and let cool on wire racks.
4. Make the Icing: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until fluffy. Gradually add the confectioners' sugar and eggnog, mixing until smooth.
5. Frost the Cookies: Once the cookies have cooled, frost them with the icing. Store the cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
