Notes
- Use cold butter right from the fridge. This helps prevent the cookies from spreading too thin.
- Both store bought and homemade eggnog can be used.
- Both regular all purpose flour and gluten free 1 to 1 flour can be used. Do not use another flour.
- The cookie dough will be thick.
- Use an ice cream scooper to scoop dough balls. This ensures they are round and evenly shaped.
- Do not bake too long. Mine were perfect at 10 minutes.
- Wait until cookies are fully cooled before adding icing.
- If your icing is too thin, add more powdered sugar. If it is too thick, add more eggnog.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Freeze for 1 month.
