Instructions
COOKIES
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick liner and set aside.
- Whisk together all of the Dry ingredients in large bowl. Set aside.
- Using a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat butter, sugars and cream cheese until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes.
- Beat in whole egg just until combined. Add egg yolks, vanilla extract and eggnog and beat just until combined.
- With mixer on low, slowly add flour mixture and beat just until combined– don’t overmix!
- Refrigerate 30 minutes.
- Drop dough by the heaping tablespoon at least 3 inches apart on prepared baking sheets (you will need to use a cookie scoop as dough is very wet/sticky). Bake 12-15 minutes or until tops are set. Let cool for 3 minutes then transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
EGGNOG CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
- Beat butter and 1 1/4 cups sugar with handled mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Increase speed to medium-high and add cream cheese, 1 piece at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition.
- Add vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon and eggnog and beat to combine. Beat in remaining 1 cup powdered sugar. Add additional eggnog, if needed, a teaspoon at a time to reach desired consistency. Evenly spread frosting on cooled cookies. Garnish with crushed candy canes if desired.
Notes
- *Do NOT microwave butter or cream cheese. Allow to soften at room temperature.
