Equipment
- 1 mixing bowls
- 1 electric mixer or whisk
- 1 baking sheet
- 1 parchment paper
- 1 set measuring cups and spoons
- 1 cooling rack
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup eggnog
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, eggnog, and vanilla extract to the mixture, and beat until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground nutmeg, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The center may look slightly soft but will firm up as they cool.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
- Once completely cooled, dust the cookies with powdered sugar.
Notes
