Eggnog Snowman Cookies
Cookie Ingredients:
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup LAND O LAKES® Butter, softened
1/3 cup prepared eggnog
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
Frosting Ingredients:
3 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup prepared eggnog
1 to 2 food colors
Miniature semi-sweet real chocolate chips
Combine sugar and butter in large mixer bowl. Beat at medium speed,
scraping bowl often, until creamy (1 to 2 minutes). Add 1/3 cup
eggnog, egg and vanilla; continue beating until well mixed (1 to 2
minutes). Reduce speed to low; add flour, baking powder, nutmeg and
salt. Beat until well mixed (1 to 2 minutes).
Divide dough in half; wrap each half in plastic food wrap. Refrigerate
until firm (at least 1 hour).
Heat oven to 375°F. Roll out dough on lightly floured surface,
one-half at a time (keeping remaining dough refrigerated), to 1/4-inch
thickness. Cut with 3 to 4-inch snowman cookie cutter. Place 2 inches
apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until
edges are lightly browned. Cool completely.
Combine powdered sugar and 1/4 cup eggnog in small bowl; mix well.
Remove one-third of frosting; place in two small bowls. Tint frosting
with food color as desired.
Frost snowmen with white frosting. Use tinted frosting to decorate
cookies, as desired. Add miniature chocolate chips for eyes and
buttons.
Makes 14 cookies.
TIP: For wavy effect, pipe tinted frosting in parallel lines. Drag
toothpick through frosting before it sets.
