Ingredients:
For the cookies:
3 cups all-purpose flour
¾ tsp baking soda
¾ tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
½ tsp cinnamon
1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
¾ cup dark brown sugar
¾ cup granulated sugar
½ cup eggnog
2 large egg yolks
2 tsp vanilla extract
For the eggnog glaze:
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
3 tbsp eggnog
¼ tsp nutmeg
¼ tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of “Old Fashioned” Citrus Smoked Bourbon Barrel Sea Salt
Instruction:
- Preheat oven to 350° and line baking sheet pans with parchment paper.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg in a large mixing bowl then set aside.
- Cream the butter and sugar in the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Scrape the bowl down and beat on high until light and fluffy.
- Pour in the eggnog and vanilla then add the egg yolks in one at a time while mixing on medium then scrape the bowl down and mix once more.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients while mixing on low. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Scoop two-tablespoon sized pieces of dough and drop onto a parchment or silicone-lined baking sheet leaving about 3 inches of room between each. Bake in the center rack at 350° for 11-12 minutes or until the edges are set and the center appears dry. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- While the cookies are baking mix the glaze up. Add a cup of powdered sugar to a medium bowl along with the cinnamon and nutmeg then drizzle in 3 tablespoons of eggnog and 1 tsp of vanilla. Whisk together adding a tablespoon at a time of eggnog as needed to achieve a drizzling consistency.
- Drizzle the icing onto the cooled cookies. Sprinkle with “Old Fashioned” before the glaze sets and enjoy.
