How to make Eggnog Cookies

These easy eggnog cookies are super simple to make and can be ready in less than 30 minutes! Exactly what you need during the busy Holiday season!

To make Eggnog Cookie Batter:

  • Cream together the butter, sugar and brown sugar with an electric mixer or in a stand mixer. Add in the vanilla, egg and Eggnog. Continue mixing until a creamy mixture has formed. 
  • In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Whisk together to remove any lumps. 
  • Pour the flour mixture into the butter mixture and stir to combine until a soft dough is formed. 
  • Scoop the cookies onto a parchment lined baking sheet. 
  • Using the back of a drinking cup or measuring cup, press the cookies flat onto the baking sheet. Spray the back of the cup with cooking spray if it sticks to the cookies.

Baking Eggnog Cookies:

  • Bake the cookies in a 350ºF oven for 8-10 minutes, until the edges are golden brown
  • Allow to cool before frosting

How to make Eggnog Frosting

To make the Eggnog Frosting combine the softened butter, powdered sugar, eggnog and vanilla in a medium sized mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer or stand mixer, mix the frosting until smooth, scraping down the sides of the mixing bowl as needed to get everything combined. 

Allow the cookies to cool on a cooling rack for at least 10 minutes before frosting. If you frost while the cookies are still warm, the frosting will slide off the cookies.
