Description

Ingredients

• 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 16 Tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup eggnog
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 2 Tablespoons vanilla extract (I used CLEAR Vanilla Extract- this makes the glaze white and not brownish white if I used regular vanilla extract.)
• 3 Tablespoons eggnog

Directions

• MAKE THE COOKIE DOUGH: STEP 1: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt together. STEP 2: Using an electric or stand mixer fitted with paddle, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes. STEP 3: Add egg and beat until combined. STEP 4: Reduce speed to low, add flour mixture, and mix until combined. STEP 5: Add eggnog and mix until combined. DO NOT OVERMIX! STEP 6: Divide dough into 4 pieces, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. MAKE, BAKE, & DECORATE: PRE-STEP: Preheat oven to 375F degrees. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside. STEP 7: In a medium sized bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and eggnog until smooth. Set aside. STEP 8: Roll out dough to about 1/8 inch thick. STEP 9: Using a cookie cutter, cut dough into shapes. STEP 10: Place cookie shapes onto prepared baking pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Let cookies cool on baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire rack. Let cookies cool completely before icing and decorating. STEP 11: Once cookies are cooled, dip cookies into glaze and sprinkle with colored sprinkles. STEP 12: Place cookies on baking sheet to set for at least 30 minutes before serving. To speed up the setting time, I placed my cookies in the fridge for about 10-15 minutes. *Store cookies in an container at room temperature for up to 7 days. UNFROSTED Cut-Out Cookies can be frozen for up to 2 months. When your ready to bake the frozen cookies, you will not need to thaw them, just place the cut-out cookies onto baking sheet and bake for 9-10 minutes.
