Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with non stick baking mats or parchment paper.
- Place the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar in the bowl of a mixer. Beat for 2-3 minutes or until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, eggnog and vanilla extract to the bowl. Beat for 1-2 minutes or until well combined.
- Add the salt, baking soda, nutmeg and flour to the bowl. Mix on low speed until just blended.
- Spoon tablespoon sized dollops of the dough 2 inches apart on the prepared pans. You may need to repeat this process if you have more dough left over.
- Bake the cookies, one pan at a time, for 10-13 minutes or until golden brown around the edges. Repeat with remaining pan of cookies.
- Let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack until completely cool.
- For the frosting, place the butter in the bowl of a mixer and beat until light and fluffy. Add the eggnog and beat until smooth.
- Add the powdered sugar and salt, then beat on low speed until frosting is smooth and fluffy. You can add more eggnog, one teaspoon at a time, to reach your desired consistency if needed.
- Spread a layer of frosting onto each cookie, then top with sprinkles and serve.
Notes
- This dough spreads quite a bit, so be sure to leave ample space between your cookies.
- Coat a tablespoon measure with cooking spray so that the dough doesn't stick when you portion it out onto the sheet pan.
- You can make your cookies as big or as small as you like, just adjust the bake time accordingly. A tablespoon sized dollop of dough will produce a cookie that's about 2 inches in size.
