Happy Wednesday, Friends! During this week between Christmas and New Year's celebrations, I'm still enjoying holiday goodies and every season I like to try something new. Come see how to whip up these scrumptious easy peasy eggnog cookies--with just three ingredients! I've also selected features from the Rustic & Romantic Creating Christmas party....

I love eggnog at Christmas, but a little goes a long way for me. Last year I used my leftovers to make eggnog French toast and it was so simple and tasty that I made it again this year. During the holidays, I always make homemade fudge. However as far as cookies go, since my kids were were more into the decorating with icing and sprinkles part, I learned to simplify by keeping a few rolls of cookie dough on hand. So...with an extra roll of sugar cookie dough in my fridge and inspired by last year's new recipe, I decided to flavor some icing with eggnog.

To make this simple recipe, bake the sugar cookies as instructed. While the cookies are cooling, mix 3 tablespoons of eggnog with 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar, for every dozen cookies. {I don't usually bake the whole package at once, but if you do, just double the recipe.}

The icing will be a thinner consistency than buttercream, but the subtle eggnog flavor really complements the sugar cookie. If desired, sprinkle lightly with cinnamon or nutmeg. Enjoy!



Now for the Creating Christmas party features! Let me tell you, with all of your beautiful and creative holiday projects and decor, it was a challenge to choose. Thank you all for sharing and also to Jann @ Have a Daily Cup of Mrs. Olson for hosting and organizing the bloggers who hosted.

ReplyDeleteYour sugar cookies look delicious. Not a lover of eggnog either, but I bet Mr. Z. would love them. I may try that sometime. My kids like just plain sugar cookies. Thanks for sharing this. Hugs,

I have never tried eggnog cookies before! These look so good and I'm guessing it's hard to stop at just having one! Thank you for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteThey look delicious Cecilia and I love the fact that they're so easy to make too. Bet the eggnog icing compliments them perfectly
