Holiday Cookies -

For all you Eggnog lovers, I found the perfect recipe for you in the December issue of People magazines StyleWatch. “The Hills” Lauren Conrad shares her mom’s delicious family recipe.

EGGNOG COOKIES

Makes 2 dozen.

2 1/4 cup flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp + 1 tbsp ground nutmeg

1 1/4 cup sugar

3/4 cup salted butter, softened

1/2 cup eggnog

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

2 large egg yolks

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F
In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon and 1/2 tsp nutmeg. Mix well with a wire whisk and set aside.
In a large bowl, cream sugar and butter with an electric mixer to form a grainy paste. Add eggnog, vanilla, and egg yolks. Beat at medium speed until smooth.
Add the flour mixture to the eggnog mixture, and beat at low-speed until just combined. Do not over mix
Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets, 1 inch apart. Sprinkle lightly with 1 tbsp nutmeg. Bake for 23-25 minutes or until bottoms turn light brown.
Immediately transfer to cool flat surface with a spatula

I’ll make this as dessert for Christmas dinner, but I’m gonna add some RUM. You can’t have eggnog without rum lol. Enjoy!
