List of Ingredients

10 - Eggnog Cutout Cookies

1/2 cup butter (no substitutes), softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon eggnog*
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Icing:
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, optional
4 to 5 tablespoons eggnog*
Liquid or paste food coloring, optional

In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Beat in eggs. Stir in eggnog. Combine the flour, salt, baking soda and nutmeg; gradually add to creamed mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until easy to handle. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut with 2-1/2 inch cookie cutteers dipped in flour. Place 2 inches apart on greased baking sheets. Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Remove to wire racks to cool. In a mixing bowl, beat confectioners; sugar, nutmeg if desired and enough eggnog to achieve icing consistency. Add food coloring if desired. Spread over cooled cookies; let dry.

Yield: about 4 dozen
*Editor's Note: This recipe was tested with commercially prepared eggnog.
