Time 1h30m

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup white sugar
½ cup packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon rum extract
½ cup vegan eggnog
1 ½ cups powdered sugar
3 ½ tablespoons vegan eggnog, or to taste
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon, or to taste

Steps:

  • Prepare cookies: Sift flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together in a bowl.
  • Cream butter, white sugar, and brown sugar together in a separate bowl until fluffy. Add eggs, vanilla, and rum extract; mix until combined. Mix in eggnog. Mix in flour mixture, a little at a time, until fully incorporated; try not to overmix. Place dough in the refrigerator to cool for about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Drop about 2 tablespoons of chilled dough for each cookie onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven just until the edges start to turn golden brown. Cool on the baking sheet for 3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • While the cookies are cooling, whisk powdered sugar and eggnog for glaze together. Add more or less eggnog until you get the desired consistency. Glaze the cooled cookies and sprinkle with cinnamon.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. This will result in the best flavor and texture for your cookies.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the dough, resulting in a lighter and more tender cookie.
  • Add the eggs one at a time. This will help to prevent the dough from curdling.
  • Stir in the dry ingredients gradually. This will help to prevent the dough from becoming too tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to firm up the dough and make it easier to handle.
  • Bake the cookies at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to brown. Overbaking will result in dry and crumbly cookies.
  • Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before serving. This will help to prevent the cookies from sticking together.

Conclusion:

Eggnog Meltaway Cookies are a delicious and festive holiday treat. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. These cookies are perfect for cookie exchanges, holiday parties, or simply enjoying at home with your family and friends.
