Eggnog Cut-Out Cookies, which capture the flavors of traditional eggnog in a delightful cookie, are a holiday favorite. These buttery, nutmeg-spiced cookies are ideal for holiday parties and cookie exchanges.
Ingredients: 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. 1/2 teaspoon baking powder. 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1 cup unsalted butter, softened. 3/4 cup granulated sugar. 1/2 cup eggnog. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Instructions: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt. In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggnog and vanilla extract until well combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Divide the dough into two portions, flatten each into a disc, and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Preheat the oven to 350F 175C and line baking sheets with parchment paper. Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut out festive shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Once the cookies are completely cooled, you can decorate them with icing or sprinkles, if desired. Enjoy these delightful Eggnog Cut-Out Cookies as a festive Christmas treat!
