Light and tender Eggnog Cookies rolled in powdered sugar, bursting with holiday flavor in every bite.
Ingredients
Dough
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons eggnog extract
- 2.25 cups all purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Coating
- 1.5 cups powdered sugar for rolling
Instructions
Dough
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Add egg and eggnog extract; beat until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and nutmeg. Gradually add to butter mixture and mix until just combined.
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
Baking & Coating
- Bake for 10–12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.
- Remove from oven and immediately roll cookies in powdered sugar. Allow to cool, then roll again in powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
Cookies should be rolled in powdered sugar while still warm for a snowy coating.
Let cooled cookies roll a second time for extra sweetness and texture.
