Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon for 30 seconds, set aside. In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, whip together butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until fluffy. Mix in egg yolks blending just until combined after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract, rum extract and egg nog. With mixer set on low speed, slowly add in dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Scoop dough out by the heaping tablespoonfuls and drop onto parchment paper lined baking sheets, spacing cookies 2-inches apart. Bake in preheated oven 11 - 13 minutes. Allow to rest on baking sheet several minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool. Cool completely then frost with Eggnog Frosting and sprinkle tops lightly with nutmeg.
- For the Eggnog Frosting:
- In the bowl of your mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, whip butter until very pale and fluffy. Add in rum extract and 3 Tbsp eggnog and mix in powdered sugar. Add additional eggnog to reach desired consistency.

those cookies sound great! We bought egg nog on the weekend but it had peppermint in it, Garry said he never looked at the label because he had never heard of it, it tastes gosh awful, not a winner, not even for cookies, yukko!
How sad for that poor girl to be starting out as a mom with nothing. You are so sweet to have found all of that for her.
That doll house is just wonderful, I can imagine how happy that girl wll be on Christmas :-)
Egg nog cookies? well why not :-)
Have a great day!

Some little girl is going to be made very happy when they see what you have given them. I'm sure that it will provide many hours of enjoyment for her.
I love eggnog & for years I have been testing recipes for a cookie that actually tastes like eggnog. Lots of duds, but if you say this one really tastes like eggnog, I have to to try it. Your recipes always turn out great, so I have no doubt these cookies will just what I have been searching for.
Those eggnog cookies sound great. My SIL would probably eat the whole batch! xo Diana
Yes, we'd like those eggnog cookies here! I'm sure you won't have any leftovers!
