Ingredients

Cookies

  • 1/3 cup butter – softened
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup eggnog
  • 1 tsp rum or brandy extract - opt
  • 1 box cake mix yellow or white
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup granulated sugar

**OPT – glaze

  • 2 tbsp eggnog
  • 1-2 cups confectioners sugar

Instructions

  • Combine butter, eggs, eggnog & extract in a large mixing bowl & beat until smooth.
  • Add in cake mix, nutmeg & baking powder & mix until just combined.
  • Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 90 minutes so that it is less sticky & easier to handle when scooping.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Scoop the dough into small balls & then roll them in a bowl of granulated sugar & place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Slightly flatten each ball so they bake to a perfect dome shape.
  • Bake 10-12 minutes or until edges are firm & golden brown.
  • Remove & transfer to a wire rack to cool.

**OPT – prepare the glaze, if using while the cookies are baking.

  • Combine the glaze ingredients & whisk together.
  • Once the cookies are cooled to room temperature, drizzle them with the prepared eggnog glaze.
