Ingredients

Cookies:

  • 1 cup + 2 tbsp flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • ⅛ tsp cloves
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter softened
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • ¼ cup eggnog
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Eggnog Frosting:

  • 4 Tbsp unsalted butter softened
  • 3 tbsp eggnog
  • 1½ cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a Silpat mat or parchment paper.
  • Stir the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves in a bowl until well combined.
  • Using a hand mixer, beat the softened butter with white and brown sugar until creamy.
  • Add the egg yolk, eggnog, and vanilla; beat until creamy.
  • Slowly add the flour mixture to the butter mixture until combined.
  • Place into the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to harden a bit.
  • Scoop spoonfuls of dough and roll into small balls, then place on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  • Place into the oven and bake for 9-11 minutes.
  • Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for a few minutes before moving them to a wire cooling rack to finish cooling.
  • Make the frosting by beating the softened butter with powdered sugar and eggnog with a hand mixer until creamy and smooth.
  • Once the cookies have completely cooled, frost cookies with the eggnog frosting.
  • Grate a little fresh nutmeg over each cookie.
  • Serve with ice-cold milk, if desired. Enjoy.
