EGG NOG COOKIES
List of Ingredients
- 1 C (225g) Butter or margarine, softened
- 2 C (400g) Sugar
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1 C (250ml) Borden's Egg Nog
- 1/2 tsp Ground Nutmeg
- 5 1/2 C (770g) Flour
- Icing:
- 3 C (330g) Confectioners' sugar
- 1/4 C (60g) Butter or margarine, softened
- 1/3 C (85ml) Borden(r) Egg Nog
Instructions
- For the dough, beat butter and sugar until fluffy. Add egg nog, baking soda and nutmeg, and mix well.
- Gradually add flour, mixing well.
- Divide dough in half, wrap in plastic and chill overnight in refrigerator or 2 hours in freezer.
- Preheat oven to 375F (190C). On floured surface, roll out half of dough to 1/8 inch thickness. Using your floured cookie cutters cut out the desired shapes. Place 1 inch (2.5cm) apart on ungreased baking sheets. Continue with the rest of the dough until all is used.
- Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool and then ice* and decorate, if desired. Make sure the cookies are cooled or the icing will melt.
- *Make the icing by, beating with an electric mixer, the confectioners' sugar and softened butter until well blended. Gradually beat in 1/3 cup Borden Egg Nog until icing is smooth. If the icing is too thick add a dash more egg nog; if to thin add a bit more confectioners' sugar.
